The office didn’t disappear; it just stopped being physical. As remote and hybrid work models settle into permanence, collaborative working has shifted from walls and whiteboards to workspaces built entirely on screens. More than 20% of the workforce in the US now work remotely at least half of the time. It’s largely effective, and many argue a cost-cutting exercise, but without shared hallways or impromptu desk chat, a new productivity-killer has emerged in the form of ambiguity. Who owns what? What’s blocking progress? Why was a decision made, or left unmade? These small uncertainties can spiral into business-breaking problems, and they underline something that has been very much missing from the remote working conversation – transparency.
