Intense Minimalism

The arrival of “AI” has created disruption.

While unfortunately some organizations are still making decisions about on-site office work that are based on old management principles and as a distraction, many are trying to evolve for a better future of work.

A lot of organizations and decision makers these days are facing challenging choices in their strategies, having to balance all the variables and unknowns linked to the current developments in AI (LLMs, GenAI, etc).

While there are many ways to work with different AI tools, one that originates from design can be particularly effective: AI as interaction materials.

We need to improve our trust.

One pattern that sometimes emerges in feedback and when assessing performance with more senior people is what I define the “shadow of brilliance”.

The discussion about “soft skills” being a bad word choice keeps coming up over and over.

In my work with organizations trying to move to remote work and specifically async work, I’ve noticed they often encounter the same initial challenge: getting rid of calls.
