We’re now living in the #future we were speculating about, three years after lockdown.
Plenty has changed in the #economy, #management, and particularly in the work/life patterns in our organisations. But so much of what we expected to be radicall different — well, just isn’t.

I’m thinking about this a lot because I’m writing a piece on it, and preparing for two very different events where I will be asking top speakers their perspective.
On 21–22 April I’ll be assisting at the Implementing Requisite Agility Workshop for Change Agents in Brighton, UK (30% off with code RAWORK30) https://requisiteagility.org/conf2023/ra-workshop
And on 14–16 June, I’m chairing the Operational Excellence & Process Transformation Summit in Hamburg, Germany (and fantastic early bird offers are available now & enjoy an additional discount of 299 euros by using this code OPEX _ specialoffer before 31st march.) https://key-notion.com/operational-excellence-process-transformation-summit-hamburg/
