The Back-to-Work Playbook: It's Being Written By Manufacturers
Synthesis from Josh Bersin is always worth a read. I don’t fully agree with his bold assessment that hyper sanitised manufacturers will be the model of the post Covid-19 working environment though. It’s going to be easier for most companies to shift what they can permanently to remote - and roboticise the rest. Have a read and let me know what you think. FUTURE OF WORK

Remote Versus Co-located Work
Tired of remote work how-to posts? If you read just one more, make it this one. Real experience, real know-how and a real taxonomy of the types of remote working in this outstanding post by Martin Fowler. H/T brainfooder Pedro Oliveira for the share REMOTE WORKING

Becoming a Conversation Designer or Developer
Having recently launched ‘HungBot’ (see above), I had the unfortunate task of doing some ‘conversational design’ - I can tell you it’s very hard work. It might well be a job for the future though, so this explainer interview is well worth a read for us here. H/T to brainfooder Martyn Redstone for the share FUTURE OF WORK

Looking Past First-Order Effects
Superb slide deck from brainfooder Steph Smith - who, if she is reading this - needs to share with me a link to her talk on the subject. Presentation is good enough as it is though - macro-economic trends and they impact all of us. ECONOMY

Scaling Your Remote Team: The Remote Guide to Hiring

Revisiting Agile Teams after an Abrupt Shift to Remote
It’s become cool to malign McKinsey & Co (remember the ‘ War for Talent’ folks?), but sometimes they come up with the goods.

Why Restaurants Are So Fucked
This post is about doner kebabs, the price of food and our accountability as consumers for the potential death of the industry. Make no mistake - restaurants as a category may not survive this economic downturn. We have to reset and revalue. Great and necessary read

I Could Do That In A Weekend!
Dan Luu is some sort of perverse genius. Consistently brilliant analysis, expertly communicated in a way that is accessible to the laity, credible to the clergy, all served up on a website with an uncompromising UI from the late 90’s. On systems, complexity and the necessity of ‘bloat’ . CULTURE
