Category: Hybrid Work

At what point in the hierarchy of an entire organization does management shift from oversight of purpose and ensuring outcomes to management of the employee? At what point does effectively providing guidance and setting appropriate goals for employees translate to “I have to supervise you” versus “I want to ensure you are adding value to our organization in the intended manner”?

It continues to intrigue me on how limited in scope some organizations can be. Except for maybe what are considered the top strategic roles in a company, i.e. CEO, President, CFO, COO, and CIO, identifying and recruiting for positions is very parochial.

Nvidia’s new processors have Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) embedded as part of the core architecture. In marketing information from Nvidia, the architecture is considered the performance multiplier for optical frame generation powered by AI. Fundamentally, the DLSS capability can “fill in the blanks” in content to create more realistic and more detailed renderings of images in real-time.

The structure of how to get things done should be based on what the objectives are to begin with. Understanding what it is that you are trying to accomplish and what successful outcomes look like for that endeavor should be a primary deliverable. Once that is understood, create practical structures, processes, organizations and capabilities designed to deliver those objectives.

Continuing to explore intelligence models and AI, I used ChatGPT, the conversational AI model from OpenAI, to answer a question about remote work. Following is the unedited answer to my question. Interestingly, I feel the answer is quite good and written in a very understandable and approachable manner. This is a reason why a large number of jobs and roles will change radically over the coming years. ChatGPT’s answer:

As soon as a business is more than regional, it is critical not to confine one’s thinking to geographical boundaries. Global implies being everywhere, working everywhere and creating everywhere. If it’s important not to confine one’s thinking to geographical boundaries, isn’t an office or office campus a geographical boundary?

One online definition for hybrid work states: Hybrid work is a flexible work model that supports a blend of in-office, remote, and on-the-go workers. It offers employees the autonomy to choose to work wherever and however they are most productive.

That’s right. My co-worker, that happens to be AI, can work from wherever is called their home on a given day and never has to set foot in the office physically.
