Exploring why unbounded information transfer amongst teams is the key to more productivity from knowledge work.

We'll have to hope and wait and see. Bosses that want to tell you what to do will be replaced by better bosses that tell what results you should deliver. I am encouraged by sharings such as this: https://github.blog/2020-05-06-octoverse-spotlight-an-analys...

I think this "disruption" has now lasted long enough for a lot of newbie remote workers to have gotten past the initial anxiety-ridden "productivity signaling" phase, and are now hitting new strides.

We've set our sights on disrupting the badly-broken data-to-insight-to-discussion workflow that for most business people still spreads clumsily across Excel, PPT, and email. We want to bring the data, the insights, and the discussion, together... into one thing. A ChartCube.

We are still quite small, just 5 of us. Just got our first office in downtown San Mateo and we're ready to jam. Our ambition has recently been series-A funded by Shasta Ventures, so we're good. And we enjoy the counsel of some awesome advisors in the Valley. You may note that it is unusual for a company that has not yet launched its product to receive a series-A. I think everyone who's seen the demo gets really excited. Love to show you our alpha.

We would love to hear from anyone who groks our vision and wants to get involved. There are some awesome technical opportunities posted on the jobs page: https://chartcube.recruiterbox.com/

Thanks for the suggested perspective, Daniel. It is interesting to consider using fiction to help spread business Truths. The trouble with that notion, however, is that business is not all that profound; at least not at the level where most people actually want to be informed. It's one thing to write about BIG ideas that relate to business (like the great education in professional excellence we got from Ayn Rand in The Fountainhead). But business non-fiction is dominated by, essentially, How-To books. I find it doubtful that the mundane requirements of transferring tactical and experiential business knowledge to lay readers are compatible with producing great literature. Even the "best" non-fiction business books (like Chris Anderson's Long Tail, for example) fall far short of literary greatness. Great literary works achieve their universality and timelessness by aiming higher, and for a bigger picture. Business books are concerned predominantly with business usefulness, which has a very short shelf life.

Indeed, that is the worrisome likelihood :(

This is good news.

What a herd of cats!
