News of 6prog - summer is here 🌦 Issue #10

By AndyAt6prog • Issue #10 • View online

Hello,

As we reach into summer I can repeat the tired but familiar conversation used by dog walkers…

‘morning’

‘nice weather for ducks.’

‘yes, it is isn’t it’

This is perfectly adequate and takes as long to say as it does to pass someone else on your route without seeming anti social even though dog walks are meant to be a time for reflection.

All the news this week has been about the ‘return’ to the office. I’m not sure what I’ve been doing for the past 15 months but when not walking my dog I’ve been in an office quite often. But I won’t grumble.

Please see below articles and videos about how businesses need to consider how they work. Seth’s short article on time vs productivity is a nice intro to the latest episode of Matt & Andy Discuss and more on open talent and indeed open thought (is this right? - ed) included with Dash

See you soon

Relationships - business or employee?

Does the boss buy your time or your productivity?

In the pre-industrial age, when we worked from home (“cottage industries”) workers got paid by the piece.

So, we hit the record button during our call and put it online! We have been challenging the status quo to find new ways and help everyone #WorkBetter. We also love the principles and spirit behind #OpenSource, so we combined these together and decided to open up all our business meetings. Tune in to listen to our crazy ideas (and some truly are!) and how we are trying to make them into a reality. We do not understand it all, so if you have any ideas that will help your and our journeys then let’s connect and explore possibilities.

In this episode, Dash shares 2 of his moonshots for SmallOutside.com with Andy. Both relating to #CrowdSourcing. Fast forward to 5:30 and 28:00 min markers to listen to them. The ideas are scary, and we are working on ways to make them a reality! Come along on our journey. #OpenMeetings #ThisIsUs

Open Meetings Pilot with Andy Barnes of 6Prog.com

Open Talent

We are increasingly defining work on an output basis which makes flexibility more attractive than employer-employee models.

A hot topic since 2017 Open Talent not only defines a way of working but highlights the shift in human behaviour as we move into the fourth industrial revolution.

What will the world of work be like for the next generation or are we already in the future of work?
