Scott KurnitFoster Spontaneous Connection
In the office, spontaneous interactions were everywhere: at the coffeemaker, the bathroom sinks, the hall, the sandwich joint next door. Then, we went fully remote and lost these unplanned moments of connection. As companies balance a mix of in-person and remote teams, it is important to create space for spontaneity and avoid creating siloed teams. Use this flight to find ways to foster the spontaneous idea-sharing that has driven workplace innovation for decades.

Suggested Questions
- There are interactions that happen only in an in-person setting that are lost in a virtual-only environment. How can we simulate this sort of interaction and how can we create time to be spontaneous? (e.g. Should teams be tuned in (on Zoom) all day so you can just “turn around” and start a conversation? Is that too creepy?)
