The Rethinking Work Show – Détails, épisodes et analyse

If work isn’t a place, how do we measure impact, build culture, or grow careers? Harvard Business School professor and author Dr. Prithwiraj Choudhury shares insights from the front lines of the remote work revolution.

To dive deeper into the concepts, research and guidance discussed in this episode, please explore Dr. Prithwiraj Choudhary's new book called "The World Is Your Office: How Work from Anywhere Boosts Talent, Productivity, and Innovation." Available for purchase on Amazon.

Dr. Prithwiraj Choudhury is the Lumry Family Associate Professor at Harvard Business School, and one of the leading thinkers on how work is evolving in a post-office world. His research focuses on the changing geography of work—exploring everything from remote work and “work from anywhere” models, to what drives or prevents geographic mobility. Before Harvard, Raj taught at Wharton, and before academia, he worked at McKinsey, Microsoft, and IBM. He brings not only academic rigor but real-world experience to his ideas. Raj’s work has been featured everywhere from the New York Times to Freakonomics to Harvard Business Review—and in 2023, he was named to Forbes’ Future of Work 50 list.
