Brave New Work is a podcast about reinventing our organizations and the search for a more adaptive and human way of working. This week we talk with Kelsey Stevenson, chief product officer at Bitly who has been playing with Slack as its digital HQ. We also check in on some other things because our conversation with Kelsey like sparked some memoriesSome questions some reminiscing that we wanted to do about our own History at the ready and tool adoption. And then having a guest is how the show started.
Whether your company is fully remote, fully in-person, or somewhere in-between, work in 2023 (and beyond) will require healthy and robust digital ecosystems—because that’s where so much work takes place day in and day out. Still, wanting a first-rate digital-first workplace and having one are two different things—and there’s no one-size-fits-all roadmap to follow. Every team has different needs, so we can expect different journeys. But that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from each other.
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans reflect on The Ready’s early years (hat tip to Panera for providing O.G. office space), sharing advice and learnings from the growing pains of yesteryear. Then, as part of our partnership with Slack, they sit down with Kelsey Stevenson, Chief Product Officer at Bitly, to talk about how the growing company is evolving its own digital-first workplace and the experiments they’re running to build trust, culture, collaboration—and a very active pets channel in Slack.
