Deep dives

The Workplace is Broken

The workplace is depicted as broken due to tools shaping users in unproductive ways. Constant connectivity leads to an 'always on' expectation, reducing time for deep thought. Meetings are often inefficient and unproductive, creating a need to Google or recreate processes due to information disorganization. The rapid introduction of new tools sabotages focus, drains energy, and leaves individuals mentally drained at the end of the day.
