Shaping the future of AI-enabled teamwork
The future of our work as designers and researchers will continue to evolve due to ongoing digitalization and advancements in AI. To remain resilient, both we as knowledge workers and our organizations need to embrace continuous learning. In the age of AI, this means creating new knowledge because nobody knows how AI will change our work yet. We must design the future of our work through experimentation. This will get us beyond ‘Babel’, which simply means confusion.

Reflecting on a year of collective growth
As 2025 draws to a close, we gathered with Reach School to crystallise our shared experiences through a 'Reach School Wrapped.' This session served as an ending and a beginning, to evaluate the impact of our collaborative learning and to start co-designing the trajectory for the upcoming year.

Building Cultures of Care
In our work we need teams—not just to get things done, but to do them well, together. So much of what we hope to achieve is only possible through collaboration, support, and shared energy. And because we spend so much of our lives at work, how we feel while working matters. In our July 2025 session, we explored how healthy team cultures can create space for care, connection, and impact. What makes teams feel good and how can we create moments of meaningful connection?
