We see a shift in the way people will be working and learning. A future where people no longer sit all day to be productive, thanks in part to gatherings which are treated more as a collaboration opportunity instead of a meeting or showcase.
We believe that interaction in collaboration will foster workplace happiness and lead to richer work results. But how do you start having interactive experiences? It begins with
love at first touch!
If we were to discuss a purple triangle, each person involved in that discussion could potentially imagine a different purple triangle.
By making a topic concrete (e.g. through a sketch), a whole team can discuss a topic together from the same focused perspective.
It removes uncertainties and opens up the discussion to unspoken ideas, changes & agreements and turns these into documented decisions which are shared after the meeting.
Changing up the work environment and taking up space encourages more creative work, and makes presented information more engaging, targeted & impactful. By getting people actively involved in the discussion they retain more knowledge of what was discussed.
Whether we are talking about the daily huddle, the monthly agile retrospective, or the quarterly board meeting; as social working animals we build up & maintain our working relationships with people through the topics we share together. And to remain efficient we plan these in at a regular time and place. These rituals are enhanced through tools that showcase what we are working on and provide opportunities for better connection or information exchange.
And in all other cases, simply having a large & central focus point to share your information with a room (and any other people working remotely) can inspire the right kind of action!
The ability to share knowledge without needing a personal table, cupboard, pen or paper means that people are freed from gear & location to collaborate.
And this is possible because nowadays we use cloud services to store our data.
