Sync Async:
Making progress easier in the changing world of work
There’s no denying work has changed in the past couple of years. Potentially faster and more than in the previous five or ten years!
The rise of remote work, work from home, work from anywhere, telework, work across different time zones and hybrid work (some people here/some there) continues to create change and challenges.
What’s one of the best ways to respond and adapt to the changing world of work?
It’s to consider not just the work itself … but the WAY it gets done.
Consider:
◻️ Do we really need everyone at the same meeting at the same time? (synchronous work)
◻️ Could some people contribute prior to, or after the meeting or begin working on tasks outside of a meeting? (asynchronous work)
A growing number of teams and businesses are learning and experiencing the value of deliberately working in sync / async ways.
That is, some work is completed synchronously — at the same time with other people;
and other elements of work completed asynchronously — at a time and in a way that suits them.
In this book you'll read about:
◻️ how, why and when to work in sync and async ways
◻️ tools for creating your team’s sync async strategy
◻️ ways to identify the type of work you prefer
◻️ techniques to work in more async ways
◻️ how to make daily progress easier — get started on things that have stopped and accelerate things that have slowed.
You don’t need to wait for a culture to change or for someone to give you the go ahead on this.
You can start working better in both sync and async ways from today.
There will always be too much to do and not enough time in which to do it.
Putting practical sync async techniques to work can make your work easier … and the rest of life better.

ish : The problem with our pursuit for perfection
and the life-changing practice of good enough
Excellence, quality and continuous improvement are important. But the pursuit of perfection …not so much.
Our drive to make things look, feel or seem perfect is dangerously on the rise and has dire consequences for how we feel about ourselves and how well we live, work and collaborate with others.
Lynne Cazaly shares the latest thinking, information and ideas on the problems of going for perfect and how caring less and being more ‘ish’ – which means somewhat, more or less, to some extent - is a more flexible, helpful and happier way to think and work.
ish. Near enough is so often good enough on the things that don’t matter as much as we think they do. Lynne Cazaly suggests we need to care less about more, and care more about less. Make this year the year of ish.
Agile-ish: How to create a culture of agility
Agile is a vast global movement and it’s transforming the world of work. It’s spreading rapidly having kicked off in the world of software development around 2001 – so said Steve Denning in an article in Forbes Magazine titled ‘Explaining Agile’.
While agile was born in software development, industries, organisations, projects, teams and leaders the world over are seeing the productivity, profitability, customer value and engagement benefits to adopting an agile mindset.
If you’re about to embark on a journey to agile, at some point you’ll probably be ‘agile-ish’. You’ll be thinking and doing some of the things that successful agile teams and organisations do.
As with all journeys, projects and experiments, it might not all go to plan or as smoothly as you’re hoping. And how you respond to that is what makes for an agile mindset.
Agile-ish acknowledges that the gifts of imperfection are incredible learning experiences; that, the benefits of getting momentum outweighs the time spent over-planning; and that delivering value to customers is what makes 21st Century businesses successful.
