Designing Your Hybrid Workplace: Think Like a Gardener

Mental models can help simplify complex ideas.  Hybrid or remote work is more than just policy, strategy or design.  It's all of it working in concert.  Metaphors like garden design, an ecosystem or an orchestra can help us think about work in different ways. It's helpful to zoom out and use your imagination to understand how roles, departments and divisions intertwine and how does this lead to success?  What are the immovable pieces that give strength and stability but also make flexibility harder? What cycles repeat with regularity? Where is the flow? Where is the friction?

This podcast episode uses garden design as a mental model to think about hybrid/remote within an organization.
