Like it or not, your team is dealing with a ridiculous amount of uncertainty in and out of the office. Most of it is beyond our control. When we have the opportunity to create less of it, we should do so. We have the opportunity to make a difference for our team, as human beings,…

Instead of starting your work in a blank Word document or spreadsheet, start in Copilot chat, then move it to a Copilot page, which is a Loop file. From there, you drop part of the page, a component, into chat for live collaboration with your team, or you work together in the Loop app, with…

If you look at the contributors to the mental health damage, though, you see things that are avoidable if organizations wanted to avoid them. Fix poor management, address understaffing, pay people what they’re worth, and don’t lay off workers just to tweak the stock price. Unfortunately, in the current political and economic climate, I don’t…

If you don’t put the guardrails in place, you are inviting someone, or some agent, to go rogue. The only difference is that if this were a contractor or an IT person with higher-than-should-be access, you could fall back on their ethics.

While there may be growth opportunities in blue-collar industries, you don’t suddenly become a plumber or electrician. It’s a long learning process that doesn’t scale well for that many unemployed people. This is reskilling at a massive, rapid scale, but we have to admit that whatever reskilling we’ve done in the past hasn’t been that…

I feel like we learned this in Econ 101, right? It’s a simple supply-and-demand curve. If you can’t buy the supply at the price you are offering, you need to raise it. Yet, the article goes on to talk about all the reasons why this isn’t happening, and they aren’t what you’d expect. It’s not…
