The document discusses the future of work and how connectedness and new workstyles are shaping it. Some of the key points made include that reputation will be more important than resumes, talent can come from anywhere as boundaries disappear, products and feedback cycles will move faster than ever before, and technologies like Zaarly aim to facilitate side jobs and connectivity in the new economy. The overall message is that individuals will have more control and flexibility in the future workplace to be agile, contribute in meaningful ways, and find work-life balance through connectivity and new tools.

1. The future of work – is what you make it

4. Connectedness

6. The process
• Process
– 6 month direction/platform choices
– 3 month roadmap/priorities/marketing events
– 1 month themes (align the team/marketing scenarios)
– 2 week sprints (wed-wed)
• Team
– High for high levels of entrepreneurial skill
– Heavy focus on devs (dev/test/product ~10/2/1)
– Testing- devs + automation + user support
– Plan - Prototype – Preview – Production
– Freedom with responsibility

7. Breaking the Rules:
What Has Zaarly Taught Me About the New Workstyle
• Reputation is the New Resume (Do Some Sh!t)
• Talent Has No Geographic Boundaries (Hi Airplane!)
• Minimum Viable Product (Every. Single. Product.)
• What Used to Be Fast Is Now Too Slow (WAY Slow)
• Feedback Loops are Tighter than Ever (Get Metrics)
• Bonus: We Still Don’t “Know” Squat

10. New Workstyle:
Our Dreams for Zaarly and the New Workstyle
• Entrepreneurship, Startups, Technology is sexy
• Everyone is now their own brand/business
• We want Zaarly to be the tool for the new
economy
– Find Talent, Fill Needs, Save Time
– Make Money
– Side Hustle
– Interconnectivity of Commerce
is (Almost) Here
