asynco
A community dedicated to sharing and shaping the way we work, asynchronously
Why join asynco?
By becoming a member of asynco, you gain access to a peer-support network of distributed work practitioners and long-time advocates of asynchronous work.
No longer alone in this new world of remote or distributed working, you get to learn from those who have gone before – the pioneers.
Whether you are still acclimatising to hybrid work or have extensive experience of distributed working, the asynco community will improve your practice. One conversation at a time.
A solution for every issue
By becoming a member of asynco you get to:
- Ask for help or advice (from how best to set up your own working practice to managing a distributed team).
- Co-create new ways of working specific to your organisation
- Learn about trends in asynchronous work
- Share good practices within your organisation
- Download checklists, frameworks, learning modules, guidance and more
What asynco members say
“We need to connect, converse, communicate, collaborate, and create within communities of diverse minds with shared values. The asynco community is one of those and I highly recommend it, especially – for the change agents out there – if you’re interested in the future of work or want to explore new, better ways of working."
“I’ve reconnected with old colleagues and have met fascinating new people. The insight shared and depth of conversations I’ve seen in the past five months never ceases to amaze me.” Rob Caldera
“asynco is a deeply focused group of intelligent professionals interacting and exploring the edges of our topic in a pollution-free online community. No bots. No junk. No bull. Yet plenty of laughs and loads of kindness and mutual respect.” Jim Canto
“It feels great to be in a safe, respectful place – where opposing views are seen as a plus and embraced as an opportunity.”
“asynco is always full of useful and interesting conversations about the future of work, whether that’s hybrid, mass scale, or of particular interest for me intersectional with the older workforce.”
“Let's be the safe place to build trust and connectivity.”
“asynco is a safe place to share and learn. I don't travel out of the UK (no planes for me), so it's been amazing to connect with knowledge professionals across the globe. I’ve met some incredible people, and one peer said to me: ‘I don't need to justify any more, I've earned my badges’. It's so empowering – and a privilege to be part of an empowered network.”
“Glad to be part of asynco community. What I've liked the most about asyncoso far is the access to great minds from around the world, learning from them about the ongoing evolution of work, workplace and workforce in this new hybrid and distributed environment.”
Background
The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic triggered and accelerated a range of work trends, laying bare the vulnerabilities of multiple, interconnected global systems we’d assumed were stable and secure. The escalating climate crisis and increasingly extreme weather events place further pressure on organisations to future proof
We’ve arrived at the end of ‘business as usual’. For organisations to survive, they must adapt.
Most professionals are concerned for what this means for their skills, occupations and livelihoods.
The pace of change has already outstripped human capacity to upskill.
Knowledge workers, and those able to work remotely / distributedly, need new rituals and routines to effectively work remotely.
Given this new landscape, Working the Future established asynco, an international community of practice, to help shape the future of distributed and asynchronous work.
