THE COLLABORATION CANVAS

Over the years, I have gained extensive experience working in virtual teams, ranging from software development to management consulting, sometimes leading and at other times participating as a team member. An early lesson I learned is the importance of continually reassessing our team's work methods in a virtual environment. A crucial aspect of this continuous improvement involves remaining vigilant for new digital tools and being prepared to explore how they can facilitate effective and sustainable work practices.

For this purpose I developed "The Collaboration Canvas", a structured aid for teams and organizations aiming to enhance digital collaboration. It revolves around nine essential capabilities required for effective functioning in virtual teams or organizations. These capabilities, along with strategies for their improvement, are elaborated upon in my book, "Superpowering People - Designing the Collaborative Digital Organization".

THE DEAD HORSE THEORY ILLUSTRATED - EBOOK

The Dakota people have a saying: "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."

However, contemporary organizations tend to favor more sophisticated strategies, such as reorganizing, rebranding, adopting new technologies, outsourcing, among others.

In my book, "The Dead Horse Theory Illustrated," I describe and illustrate more than 60 strategies. The book is available in both a full-color hardcover edition and a more affordable black-and-white paperback edition.

THE TALE OF THE NEW WORK LIFE

“The Tale of the New Work Life" tells the story of the seismic shifts we've experienced in our work environments recent years, and how we need to think moving forward.

This is the result of an idea that came to me a while back, one that that I completed in just a couple of days thanks to Midjourney.

It's crafted like a fairy tale for children, but I believe we all need this explained to us in a simple manner to grasp the essence of what many of us have experienced and how we can think about about the future of our work life.
