Changing how the world works—from business as usual to brave new work.
About us
The Ready is a future-of-work consultancy committed to changing how the world works—from business as usual to brave new work. Within that world, we help organizations—from legacy institutions to start-ups to DAOs—uproot the status quo and unlock new levels of performance. Every company and team now faces a tall order: be more adaptive, strategic, effective, human, and inclusive amidst an ocean of uncertainty. The Ready guides organizations as they navigate and accelerate this change. Not with posters and PowerPoint. Instead, we invite teams to test new ways of working and shed organizational debt that’s been standing in their way for years. The way we work is broken, dehumanizing, and covered in red tape—but it can be reinvented in service of human flourishing and, dare we say, joy. The Ready’s purpose is to help teams around the world manifest that change as fast, far, and wide as possible. Because the future of work can’t wait.

The only way to deal with a clogged backlog is to move through it project by project, right? Well… Before you start methodically chipping away, it’s worth asking: “Why haven’t these projects been completed in the first place? And if we haven’t got to them already, are they *still* valuable?” Odds are, there are several darlings to kill and capacity hiding in plain sight. 👀 #atworkwiththeready #capacity #capacityplanning #orgdebt

When it comes to having impactful and effective meetings, go small or go home. In a new AUA video, our colleagues help a newsletter subscriber who's trying to shrink their meetings down without inducing FOMO or stoking political turmoil. We promise, it's possible.

Tis the season for urgency. 😑 Except these days, it feels like it's *always* the season for urgency—and never quite the season for slowing down, hitting pause, and reflecting. Exhibit A: In our latest newsletter survey, 77% of respondents said something "urgent" hits their desk at least once a week. That's why we're tackling urgency in our next newsletter series (out in December) and exploring the strategic benefits that come with slaying the hustle culture monster. Because orgs that sacrifice efficiency and effectiveness for urgency miss out on learning from mistakes and making their wins *easier* to win. The survey asked subscribers how urgency is showing up in their teams and organizations. Our main insights 👇👇. #futureofwork #survey #insights #hustleculture #urgency

This week on At Work With The Ready, our AUA episode goes to graduate school. 🍎 We reached back into the mailbag and holy cow were the questions good. Great even. Tune in to hear co-hosts Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin tackle questions like… ➕ "Are great teams and strategies impossible without traditional leadership?" ➕ "How do you prioritize cross-functional initiatives between leadership and teams that avoids zombie projects and mutual disappointment?" ➕ "Can project capacity planning be done in a people-positive, complexity-conscious way?" #atworkwiththeready #theready #AUA #podcast

Hot take of the week 🌶️: If your end user just “doesn’t get” your product or service, there’s probably something you don’t get about your end user. At Work With The Ready’s latest podcast episode breaks down how to pivot from service-first thinking to product-first thinking. Step 1. Run toward—not away from—your end user. #atworkwiththeready #futureofwork #productmindset #customercentricity #userexperience

It's no small feat to help an individual meeting that's wonky and wobbly go from 1 to 50—from terrible to pretty damn good. But even when that *one* meeting is humming, even when it feels energizing and worthy of high fives 🖐️, teams still have to step back and ask: "Is it really fulfilling its purpose and doing what we need it to do?" In a new AUA video, our colleagues answer a newsletter subscriber question all about where best to begin when you need better, more effective meetings. 👀: https://hubs.ly/Q02Y-RH00 #theready #AUA #meetings #effectivemeetings

Dear internal support functions: What kind of feedback do you get from your clients? Here’s a better question: What kind of feedback do you invite? Because there’s a big difference between asking “Do you trust me?” and asking “Did I solve your biggest problem this year?” Lurking inside that difference is the gap between service-first and product-first thinking. In our latest podcast episode, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin explore the deeper insights organizations can unlock if they shift toward outcome-driven feedback. #atworkwiththeready #futureofwork #productmindset #feedback
