Before this pandemic, management was the key obstacle to telecommuting. It still is. Hybrid workplaces are an effort by management to hang on to power and privilege for as long as possible.

Employers would probably be ok with the cost of Apple Vision Pro in exchange for less cost for other home office provisions and an increase in productivity.

Procastination is going to be an even bigger issue, isn't it?

Apple Vision Pro as the future home office? Why not?

You work from home. You're alone. You need a big screen. You don't want to spend too much room setting up for your work.

Would you be able to get all your work done using a Vision Pro? Maybe not. But then it's easy to step out of your office. Just remove the goggles.

Same goes with work-life balance: Just remove the goggles.

Thoughts?

Knowledge artisans provide an opportunity to reconnect humans and work. Industrialization compartmentalized tasks and jobs. Artisans work the entire creative process. Yes, we can use tools like GPT and LLMs, but it’s our humanity that creates something unique, and not an iteration of what has been scraped by machines from that which has already been created and shared by people.

Psychology: regression.
Key: monumental failure of leadership.
Return-to-office mandates aren't a testament to remote work's failure, but rather a retreat to familiarity amid economic volatility. Remote work has proven its worth; the pivot back is more about seeking the comfort of old norms than dismissing new efficiencies.
Return to office is “regression to office”.

The VR office is currently being tried and tested as a tool for remote work, and the results prove its ineffectiveness.

An experiment at a German university found that, from a whole week working entirely in VR, task load increased by 35%, frustration shot up by 42% and anxiety by 19%. Therefore, it perhaps is not the most exciting prospect to imagine a world where we are so intensely immersed in the stresses of everyday business.

We are going to have a Covid repeat with the #ClimateCrisis.

We have had ample warning, yet adaptation remains slow. The IPCC lists the following as barriers:

1) Limited resources
2) Lack of private sector & citizen engagement
3) Insufficient mobilization of finance (including for research)
4) Low climate literacy
5) Lack of political commitment
6) Limited research and/or slow and low uptake of adaptation science, and
7) Low sense of urgency

Soon every action we take:

- working from anywhere
- not having a physical office
- not flying for business meetings
- having out of town speakers on a screen
- etc.

Will be driven, not by the latest fad, but by what produces the least carbon.

My suggestion to leadership teams is get ahead of this while you still have time to do this in an orderly fashion. The longer you wait the more urgent and thus painful the transition will become.

Most of our #leadership models and practices belong to yesterday.

Connected leadership is based on temporary hierarchies and strong networks. It requires work structures that are transparent, diverse, and open. Networked contributors are supported by servant leaders who actively listen, question the context, and sense & review. These leaders suggest responses, build consensus, and propose changes in order to get things done.

#FourDayWeek the #FutureOfWork

The vast majority of companies taking part in the world’s largest trial of a four-day week have opted to continue with the new working pattern, in a result hailed as evidence that it could work across the UK economy.

Of the 61 companies that entered the six-month trial, 56 have extended the four-day week, including 18 who have made it permanent.
