A new vision of productivity emphasizes human and planetary flourishing, particularly in light of AI advancements and climate challenges. Viewing organizations as living systems encourages adaptability, creativity, and healthy feedback loops, shifting the focus from rigid time-tracking to measuring employee vitality. By fostering an environment where people feel connected and empowered, organizations can thrive amidst uncertainty and change, allowing emergent intelligence to flourish.
