<\/p>\nThe last few weeks in my work life have been fragmented, difficult, and full of really big corporate problems. I’m not complaining because I love the brainpower needed to solve these problems and I’m working towards being more of an influencer to my peers. <\/p>\n
But, these problems require more than a singular brain to solve. They need collaboration and coordination with a hive mind… and that’s the exhausting part: collaborating with lots of really smart, diverse people who mull problems until they become strategies, experiments, and solutions. <\/p>\n

(Photo was taken by my friend Sumeet in India and is not even remotely related to my current client.)<\/em><\/p>\n I’ve started to actively write about the outputs of this realm of my life at Medium; take a peek if you’re interested in corporate transformation. I only have the capacity for one industry article a month and even that sucks away time from every other aspect of my life.<\/p>\n These days I happen to be stuck in the middle of nowhere in what can only be described as suburban hell. And, even though I am in a place where exciting things are happening<\/a>, last week the only interesting thing I saw was some giant pumpkins. The week was otherwise filled with cement walls, cubicles, traffic, no coffee, and food delivery services.<\/p>\n I need to work out a Chicago exploration strategy once I am more settled and the problems\/ideas aren’t coming at me like water coming out of a firehose. The good news is there is an international component to this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"sm-2016-11-01-20-02-20\"](\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/sm-2016-11-01-20.02.20.jpg\")
