For years, we talked about the “future of work” like it was a distant horizon. Something we’d prepare for eventually. Something that would arrive with fanfare and a clear starting line. But the truth is simpler: the future of work didn’t arrive all at once. It seeped in quietly. It showed up in the cracks first — in the moments when teams struggled to stay aligned, when communication broke down, when culture felt stretched thin across time zones and tools. Then one day, we al

For years, leadership advice has circled the same themes: communicate clearly, empower your teams, build trust, set direction. All still true. But in 2026, those fundamentals aren’t enough on their own. AI has changed the pace of work, the expectations of employees, and the definition of what it means to lead. Not because AI replaces leaders, but because it exposes the gaps in how we lead. The leaders who thrive now share a different set of habits — ones built for a world whe

Part 3 — The UC Leader’s Playbook for AI‑Powered Collaboration The Five Signals Your Collaboration Strategy Is Outdated — and the Fixes That Transform Alignment, Culture, and Performance Most organizations don’t have a collaboration problem.

But the truth is harder to swallow: Engagement was already broken. Hybrid work just made it impossible to hide. For years, companies relied on proximity to mask deeper issues — hallway conversations, in‑person check‑ins, “management by walking around.” When the office disappeared, so did the illusion of connection. And su

By Scott Grizzle, MA — Executive Leader in Unified Communications, AI Collaboration, and Enterprise Video Employee engagement didn’t collapse during the shift to hybrid work — it evolved. The old challenges didn’t disappear; they simply changed shape. Today’s workforce is navigating digital overload, economic uncertainty, and a constant stream of tools that promise productivity but often deliver confusion. Yet the organizations thriving in 2026 aren’t the ones adding more mee

By Scott Grizzle Enterprise video has become foundational to how modern organizations operate. From executive communications and global town halls to hybrid collaboration, learning, and real-time decision-making, video is now a core pillar of the digital workplace. Yet despite decades of progress in codecs, networks, cloud platforms, and delivery technologies, organizations continue to struggle with the same fundamental challenges when deploying video at scale. These challeng

Streaming Has Become the Default What was once an emerging tool in 2019 is now the primary medium for workplace communication and brand storytelling . Enterprises no longer ask if  they should stream — they ask how to make streams more engaging, secure, and personalized . With hybrid and remote work now standard, streaming video is the connective tissue that keeps teams aligned and audiences engaged. 💡 Streaming Doesn’t Need to Break the Bank Cloud-native platforms  like Mic

Effective communication remains one of the biggest challenges for large enterprises. Teams spread across multiple locations, time zones, and departments often struggle to stay connected and aligned. Traditional communication tools, siloed systems, and inconsistent workflows create friction that slows decision-making and reduces productivity.
