In several guises, the Office of the Future (OOF) is upon us. Apart from the obvious economic and managerial challenges engendered by the importation of communication and data-processing technology into the office, there will be a longer-term trend towards the reshaping of jobs and job structures, particularly as these relate to information-handling tasks. This paper is an attempt to define opportunities, to prognosticate trends and to lay out a plan of action for forecasting individual careers in an office slightly automated now and increasingly automated in the future.
