We are in post-truth era with contradictive science. We've all experienced coronavirus being difficult to understand and how modern science struggles with it. Deep fake news makes it difficult to form opinions. The amount of information continues to explode with now rich dashboards and AI solutions adding predictions about the future.
As we struggle the new normal of conference call marathons without rest, our yearn for meaning grows. Our ability to adapt to the new dull world with zero real world contacts during the working day is wearing out, and the effects all this has on our emotional intelligence remain to be seen. How can we impact in this environment of two-dimensional video screens and the constant feed of thousands of messages?
We are experienced with the limitations of instant messaging, the likes of Teams and Slack, but at the same time appreciate their ease of use when needing to connect with each other. Setting up needed meetings has evolved. A systemic change will happen. In the past so much effort was lost in just getting form meeting to the next and influencing each other.
However, the big leadership questions - our purpose, objectives, who is authorized to make decisions, how we align ourselves, and how we actually get work done – need focus.
Where is the systemic change happening? Look at the picture below. We are playing a whole new ball game with a new set of rules. Where would you position your organization in the different disruptions influencing the ways of work?
I have been my whole life seeking for ways to the next abstraction level of work. This is our daily mission at Fingertip. We know the limitations of task management, pains with fragmented solutions and low adoption and impact levels of IT projects. We aspire to provide cause and effect to knowledge work and leadership. We want to serve dispersed organizations, align for agility and help solve today's wicked problems. It is decision making. It is setting goals and letting self-organized task force teams to align for solutions. I say it is software - tomorrow's organizations are digital. It is the way to meaning and purpose, and impact.
