How We Meet and Why It Matters

Priya Parker is a master facilitator, strategic advisor, and the author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters. We talk about the real, big and small challenges we’ll see when we return to workspaces, the need we’ll have to use our creativity and ingenuity to figure out how to be together, and the opportunity we’ll get to ask how we can be together better.

Team Anywhere: Create a Return to Work Plan that Fits Your Purpose

Make your return to work plan a prototype. Bring your staff in for a day to figure out where the issues are. Then, define how you want to invest your money and what solutions you need to create. The idea behind a prototype is to do first, and then strategize, rather than strategizing first and then do. Your company can work out the issues just like you did a year ago when everyone went fully remote. It’s time to recognize that the next step back is going to be messy and none of us have the answers.
