I have friends who work for IBM and other large corporations in the Research Triangle Park, some of whom are experiencing whiplash. After all, they've been sent to work from home, returned to the office and then sent back to work from home several times. All before Covid struck. Covid has only caused the process to repeat. When they were sent home, the argument was that it did not matter where people worked and the company could save money by downsizing buildings.

Why Help Employees with Child Care. It’s back to school and back to the office for many people. Parents are worried about child care. Employers often compete to attract great talent with benefits, and perks. Employers should not overlook huge transformations in their employees’ lives, such as the birth of a child or caring for a sick child, as work and personal time become more intertwined.

Have you ever met someone who thinks that they are amazing at something, but does not realise that in fact they are below average? This could be the Dunning-Kruger effect in action. The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people who are incompetent in an area don’t understand what high performance looks like in that field, and so cannot tell they are incompetent.

As we take away extraneous background details, we bring the subject into clearer view. The same is true in many other fields – taking things out can seriously improve performance. But there is a strong human tendency to do the opposite – to add features rather than to subtract – even when subtraction is an easier and better solution.

I'm a fan of military history, and it is always striking to me to see how much new product development and innovation can learn from the military and vice versa. When we look at the military, we often don't think of innovation, or perhaps we think of the wrong kinds of innovation, like super expensive hammers or weapons systems that sound great but don't work.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

Strategy deployment is a periodic planning technique that sets a company’s goals, performance indicators, targets, and helps the team develop a month-to-month deployment plan to get those achievements. The plan is laid out on one A3-size piece of paper (11” x 17”), which becomes the organization’s strategy execution plan.
