Writing this list I realise that virtual meetings might even be a lot more satisfying than the ones we hold in a conventional office environment. Who know, when we finally get back into our offices in 2021 we might bring our new skills back with us.

For most of my career, the work arena was the office. Not any more – at least for now. What’s happened, what have we lost, and do we need to get the office back?

Like everyone, I was banished to the virtual world of Zoom by the pandemic. However hard you try, it’s hard to get by the lack of casual spontaneity compared with having real people working together in a real room. So it was a breath of fresh air to be back working on a client’s premises last week.
