The way we work has been irrevocably altered, and a new book from HTRiQ founder Ron Scott Smith is here to help leaders, managers, and employees navigate the new landscape. The Work Model Revolution: The HTRiQ Guide for Future Ready Teams is a comprehensive guide designed to be your companion in mastering remote and hybrid work.
And it's coming the second week of October 2025!
Authored by Ron Scott Smith, the book is a culmination of nearly four decades of experience in diverse work environments, from in-office roles to managing globally distributed teams. It delves into the "what," "why," and foundational "how" of building a successful work model, addressing the complexities that have arisen from the accelerated shift toward flexible work.
The guide is structured to provide a clear roadmap for success. It begins by making the business case for flexible work, detailing how it can lead to increased productivity, access to a global talent pool, and enhanced business continuity. It then moves into the practicalities of designing a strategy, from understanding foundational principles like trust and accountability to choosing the right model for your organization.
A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the critical, yet often overlooked, challenges of this new era. It addresses the complexities of global compliance, legal and tax implications, data privacy, and cybersecurity. The guide highlights that these are not minor hurdles but significant operational and legal challenges that require careful planning and expert guidance to avoid costly mistakes.
The book also explores the human side of the work revolution, with dedicated sections on nurturing company culture, mastering communication in a distributed environment, and prioritizing employee well-being. It emphasizes that a successful work model is not just about technology and policies; it's about building an inclusive environment where every employee feels valued and empowered.
A unique aspect of the guide is the transparency around its creation. The book was developed with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence, which served as an assistant in the research, drafting, and editing processes. This collaborative approach allowed the author to bring years of experience into a comprehensive format much more efficiently than would have been possible alone.
The book will be available through most online booksellers and on https://www.htriq.com.
