Remote Functioning And The Allen Curve

The Allen curve is an observation produced in the 1970s that the additional away someone is the fewer most likely a particular person will initiate communication.

This proof that backs the ‘co-location wins’ meme.

Tom Allen replicated the experiment in the early 2000’s with the speculation that skype, email, digital comms and superior av equipment would have lowered the impact of the phenomena.

He found that the first point out – making a transfer to initiate communication remained the blocker to additional frequent interaction and collaboration.

The recent performing and untested speculation is that younger individuals have used more time on line and collaborating digitally and so we have developed our social tactics to arrive at out extra quickly.

It is my observation that this is real of some demographics but is not still the usual point out of people today on teams.

When you chose to perform remotely you need to have to specially deal with this problem. How can you stimulate the movement of information and facts and queries/answer activity that leads to collaboration?
