There’s something poetic about Skype signing off quietly on a Monday. No farewell party. No confetti from Redmond. Just a soft click — the kind that ends a call and a chapter.

The Stability-Instability Paradox: AI’s Quiet Disruption of the Working World
In the vast savannahs of East Africa, the lion's roar serves not just as a declaration of dominance but as a subtle reminder to the gazelles of the ever-present threat.

The Work Journey: From Point A to Point B in a World Without Maps

The Freight Mindset: Standardized, Scalable, but Sometimes Stifling When organizations look at growing their people, their first instinct is often to build big.

The Future of Work: Lessons from an AI Company That Wasn’t
In the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci designed mechanical knights that could sit, wave, and even move their jaws. Observers wondered: if machines could mimic life, how far off could a world of mechanical workers really be? Fast-forward five centuries, and we’re still asking. But thanks to a fascinating experiment at Carnegie Mellon University, we now have a clearer — and...
