It was a shared experience with a large group of people.  Then we started to watch TV in our living rooms with our families, a smaller group. Now people watch videos on YouTube with headphones, a very individual experience.  Then, of course, we attempt to rebuild connection via comments.

I’m currently giving some thought to the team culture I’m going to need in my latest project. When you think about culture change, it always seems a bit, well, MASSIVE. It’s knowing where to start. But in fact, sometimes it needs no more than a sharp tug on a piece of string….
