Best practices around leadership and team competencies have been shifting for decades – “how we work” hasn't been working for a very long time.
In 2020, however, the world was struck with a level of disruption that few had ever imagined and the need for a new level of adaptability in the workplace became an urgent and dire necessity.
The adversity and uncertainty of the pandemic has ushered in more changes in ways of doing business than we had seen in decades. Now, the ability of organizations to embrace a new world of work – one in which they reinvent how they work, where they work, and how they experiment – is critically important to their ability to remain relevant, sustain a competitive advantage, and scale.

For the last twenty years, Keith Ferrazzi, Founder and Chair of Go Forward to Work™, has been identifying and sharing interventions that remote and hybrid teams can adopt to fundamentally shift their organizations.
Teams that adopt these interventions – a few of which include collaborative problem-solving, increasing trust and candor, and peer-to-peer accountability – often see a three-to-four times improvement in the key indicators of team performance.
When National Instruments partnered with us to apply our research focused on increasing the efficacy of hybrid teams to their organization, they realized tremendous results in just a few months.

Eric Starkloff, CEO, National Instruments
"The tangible change of leaning into the hybrid work interventions has been the ability to escalate and make critical business decisions faster, and ones that stick, because the process is collaborative and therefore the buy-in is higher. It was a breakthrough and realization that there are ways to run a remote forum that are motivating, create energy, and accomplishment."
Go Forward to Work is continuing to discover, highlight, and proliferate the research behind what it takes to sustain high-performing teams in the new world of work through our Hybrid Collaboration and Innovation community, where we aim to showcase best practices around workforce redesign and business model redesign that organizations are using to leapfrog traditional obstacles to growth and realize transformational outcomes.
Keith Ferrazzi
"Companies attempted things in the pandemic world that they would never have tried to do under normal circumstances. Like never before, companies became open to flexible work arrangements, and pivoted week-by-week as they had to co-create major strategic choices on the fly. The levels of mutual support were astounding as team members co-elevated — and lifted each other up in an esprit de corps of resourcefulness and experimentation."
