Together, we will collaborate on research initiatives, educational offerings, and the establishment of best practices focused on shaping the future of human work with team flow as the foundation, as disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence are transforming how people live and work. We will publish in-depth quarterly papers, as well as articles and online educational offerings and briefings, and will conduct quantitative and qualitative research studies. During 2024, we will focus on a number of hot topics, including:
- Tips for successfully introducing AI into organizations
- Achieving and sustaining high performance via team flow for decentralized teams
- What separates the best teams from the rest
- Creating alignment and cohesion in blended teams
- Activating collective ambition to transform poorly performing teams
- Emerging practices that leverage AI and team flow principles to improve collaboration, communication and community
Our first report, entitled Envisioning the Future of Human Work in the Age of AI, sets the foundation for our work for 2024 and beyond. It provides key insights and practical advice to business leaders on how to successfully integrate AI into their collaborative practices and organizational design to augment human labor and unlock the full potential of their teams.
