Greetings Decision maker,
Have you seen the headlines about the new study in Nature that “conclusively proves” remote work harms innovation and creativity? The narrative that traditional, in-person work environments are the sole breeding grounds for innovation and collaborative breakthroughs has dominated the discourse. In reality, this narrative is not only outdated but fundamentally flawed in the context of our modern, technologically-driven world.
Here’s a critical aspect of this study: the scientists used old-school, traditional techniques for innovation. We now know about much better techniques for innovation in remote and hybrid settings, such as a technique I developed to help clients figure out how to adapt to hybrid and remote work called virtual asynchronous brainstorming.

What's Up With Me
It’s been such a hot couple of months that it really made me think about climate change. How different the seasons have become, with warmer weather lasting longer and longer into the Fall. Sure, there’s some annual variance, but the trend is steady and clear. It makes me glad I ended up moving to Ohio from North Carolina and settling down here. While I prefer the North Carolina climate, Ohio is coming closer to North Carolina, while the latter is moving closer to Georgia, which is definitely hotter than I prefer. And the investment we made into the garden in anticipation of longer-term climate change - planting trees like figs that prefer a warmer climate - will hopefully pay off over the years. Moreover, Ohio is less vulnerable than North Carolina to the
weather variability associated with climate change, since it’s not as impacted by hurricanes. I’m somewhat skeptical that we will stay below the 1.5 Celsius increase goal of the Paris Agreement, and while I believe it’s important to decrease the emissions that lead to climate change, I think we’re not doing enough to adapt to the consequences of climate change. So while I’m trying to do my part to decrease my own impact - composting, pescatarian diet, etc. - I’m also taking steps to adapt to climate change. What’s your approach to this issue?
