The book 'When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing' has significantly influenced corporate strategies by emphasizing the importance of timing in productivity. It has led to a better understanding of the biological clock and how it affects employee performance at different times of the day. Companies have started to map out chronotypes of their employees to determine their most productive hours. This has resulted in more effective scheduling of tasks and meetings, leading to increased productivity and efficiency.

Furthermore, the book's insights on the psychological benefits of synchronized group activities have encouraged team-building exercises in corporate settings.
