Agility

How did your DIY home office set-up work out for you?  

Cheers to all the on-line ingenuity of ergonomic ideas to support work from home. Imagine keeping your agility moving forward.  Mental well-being promotes agile thinking.  Sudden change has given ode to ‘how can life be better and different". The familiar office may no longer fulfill expectations...life was interrupted.  This is an opportunity to live differently - connected for purpose. Don’t lose this valuable transition time to co-create space.

Let’s use this moment to generate resilient space for connection. First, think about keeping what works.  There may be a ‘crack’ in the space - yet it may enlighten the tasks to flourish as is with easy minor modifications.  These are agile moments.  You showed up, don’t let time give way to  complacency.

First priority is physical and psychological safety in your space.  Many buildings are putting new practices in place from building entry to your organization’s space.   What’s next: how can you take control of your space in the office to feel safe?   Ideas from media:  clockwise corridors; cleaning products sprinkled about; and non-touch faucets.  The intensity depends on how you and your colleagues feel about what else may be required for your mental well-being. Be empathetic. 

Think about how gathering spaces can be modified.  You and everyone else used video conferencing to gather recently.  It has become more natural and some feel more exhausting.  A lot of people will be virtual, while others physically present in the office.  Largest changes in physical meeting spaces is less people around the table; technology more intuitive; less wasted time getting into the meeting purpose.  A room appointed for 8 should now be 4.  A room for 4-6 should be 2.  You get the idea.  

Take the opportunity to use your agility to a kinder and inclusive environment.
