Former Electrolux global CMO joins Multiply

The hybrid workspace became a real thing amid the Covid-19 pandemic. A hybrid workplace mixes in-office and remote work, offering employees more flexibility and support. This type of workplace is becoming more popular as employers seek to build a more productive, healthy, and stable workforce. When done correctly, hybrid workplaces can offer many benefits to both employees and employers. For this blog post, I spoke to Gretchen Anderson, designer, speaker, collaboration expert, and author of the book Mastering Collaboration from O’Reilly Media.

Co-creation is the process of creating something together that often involves a broader range of stakeholders. It’s a collaborative approach that can be used to develop new ideas, products, or services together with your customers and partners. Today, co-creation is widely recognized as an important tool for innovation and business success that is being used by some of the world’s leading companies to develop new products, services, and even entire business models.

It’s time to co-create, to build together. To build what we are most passionate about, but integrate with and empower each other across company and societal borders.

The state of flow, also known as "the zone," is a mental state in which a person is completely absorbed in an activity and is able to achieve their fullest potential. When a person is in a state of flow, they are completely focused and engaged in what they are doing. Time seems to slow down or even stop, and they are able to access all of their skills and abilities. This state of complete absorption can lead to exceptional performance.

In order for cocreation to happen, we need to let go of our expectations, our need to look good in front of others, and our attachment to the results of our efforts. Our egos often get in the way of co-creation because we are too focused on our own ideas and desires. Read this post to get ideas for how to co-create more efficiently with better results.
