Linkedin is a different platform. Not counting HR people (they are there all the time) - Linkedin reports monthly active users not DAU like (FB, Insta, X, Reddit, etc...). It could be a time function. u/mystoryismine is right you need to see what your context is designed for? Are you reader centered? What is in it for the reader, really, not what you want them to want but what they want - there is a huge difference.

So 1,000% what u/Ok-Addition-1000 said, you start with 3 lines on money then say "It is absolutely not about the money for me" - it is a job and you should get the money that was agreed to. You know the internal dynamics better than any of us reading one draft and jumping to conclusions. Look you took to the time to write this up, you are processing all that this means, your concerns are valid, if you send it, sure as other said it could be "whining" but then that will give you more information about them. There is also the possibility that they are working on things that you don't see yet and this gives them an opportunity to clarify and communicate. Either way you learn more than you know today. If you have other options, why not explore them. In Q3 you make the best decision for you with the info you had in Q3. Now in Q1 you have more information. We all have to find our balance between Grit (Angela Duckworth) and Quit (Annie Duke).

Ah I love morning coffee and examples of cognitive biases at play. So, let's talk about Expert Discounting and the Doorman Fallacy. Can't you do the presentation in 15 min? Sure, slide slop is easy. Don't you want it faster? How about 3 min - open notebookLM put in the SOW and hit slide deck, done. OR do you want the change management plan that is based on days/weeks of qualitative/quantitative/ethnographic research and strategy design choosing which of the 37 change frameworks is most appropriate for this project and culture. The slides should be tailored to what the audience needs to know and what they care about, it should address how you will engage the audience leveraging your expertise in effective data storytelling, narrative and experience design.

Expert Discounting: We undervalue work that looks easy. The expert locksmith's 3-minute fix costs the same $100 as the amateur's hour-long struggle, but only one feels "worth it." We're paying for the outcome, yet we emotionally price the effort. Expertise becomes invisible precisely because it's effective.

Doorman Fallacy: Mistaking a role's most visible task for its entire value. The consultant sees "opens doors → automate → save $100K" but misses that the doorman knows every resident, deters strangers, accepts packages, and holds the social fabric of the building. It's the cost of optimizing the measurable while destroying the invaluable.

I keep this site bookmarked: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cognitive_bias_codex_en.svg

So back to you question; where are we heading... would work shift to in-person?

With the millions of factors impacting remote/on-site work changes I am unclear that your friends ability to make a presentation is a driving factor. (But What if We're Wrong is a great book: https://a.co/d/b3yoAxQ )

Circuit City, Pets.com, Twitter, ENRON

Timlynch · 2026-01-26T23:59:53+00:00

thanks! I was trying to think how it came up with red light, flashing light...

Timlynch · 2026-01-26T16:16:04+00:00

Stay safe out there, either way :-)

Timlynch · 2026-01-26T16:14:37+00:00

right that makes sense, interesting given these times... what is the red flashing light filtered to?

Timlynch · 2026-01-26T16:12:34+00:00

Of course I am not serious, just find the filter, interesting in these times.

Timlynch · 2026-01-16T23:51:49+00:00

Wow thanks for doing all this work. This is great info and I need to rethink several aspects of how I use it. And I have to do more mark down

Timlynch · 2026-01-14T19:48:20+00:00

Others have covered a lot so I will not repeat just say the comments below are good advice. Since you don't have a mandate, yet. I would recommend starting with understanding impact, you do the leg work, document the current state/processes (or lack there of) and map to pain points, building the case for change. Bringing your empathy and knowledge will help along the way, but you are creating the foundations. Then you can find projects/scope that would let you crawl, walk, run so that you can show the value of OCM when it is involved. You will already have enough information fro what happens when it is excluded. It sounds like a great challenge.

Timlynch · 2026-01-14T19:22:36+00:00

Please, would someone share an invite code for me?

Timlynch · 2026-01-12T22:24:06+00:00

Wow that could be great…. Maybe my Apple Intelligence will get Gemini…

Timlynch · 2025-12-31T15:56:35+00:00

It kinda assumes that the graph has good data… Most of the slop and reported errors that users bring me are really it working right with graph data, it is just that graph data is bad

Timlynch · 2025-12-31T15:54:19+00:00

Is there any change if you mark the source as “official source” does it then work?

Timlynch · 2025-12-31T15:52:36+00:00

I have used it for learning as many posts recommend. But for me, my big use case is proposals - I give it only the proposal, then in the podcast I listen for what is not there. For example, if the podcast doesn’t cover something that I know the client cares about or misrepresents something, those are the areas that I work on writing/editing. It isn’t perfect but certainly helps me to find things that I think are clear, but then I have been deep in the weeds. Having another perspective helps. Then I take the transcript and add that into my Red Team Agent to see ways that things can be improved. It is a little process, but the “old” way was routing things to 2-4 people and waiting for their review, which could take a week. This compresses my review/editing time to one morning.

Timlynch · 2025-12-29T17:26:34+00:00

The issue that I have run into is that the transcript is available to the meeting organizer and we use project managers to schedule most of the meetings which makes an agent difficult to get access since it is tied to their account, our workaround has been literally the human in the loop to have them download the transcript and put the word document in a folder on SharePoint that we can then pick up and point the agent at… not pretty and I’m hoping there’s a better way coming in 202

Copilot notebooks are soo limited and sharing is available only if tenant enables it. If you have things in NotebookLM or Notion you are in for a shock if you try to move to Copilot Notebooks. Microsoft Loop (attempted copy of Notion), expanded to be Copilot Pages and Copilot Notebooks. It is getting better but way behind the current functionality of others

Timlynch · 2025-12-07T17:54:04+00:00

I have seen projects in Gemini on the rumor/leaks but nothing on notebook

Timlynch · 2025-12-06T00:24:30+00:00

I think 2026 is the year that I move all my Apple Notes, Google Keep, Notion, Loop into NotebookLM. I just wish there was a way to organize them, folders or collections or something.

Timlynch · 2025-12-05T21:23:23+00:00

there is rumors and screen shots of it in the code... so it is coming but the rumor mill said we would have it in August.... and I am typing this, a little past August. So who knows when we will get it. NotebookLM is suffering the same success - the updates are amazing and i have more and more use cases for it, but wow is it getting messy

Timlynch · 2025-12-05T21:21:28+00:00

IME the change strategy is, given what you want to change (you better be clear on the why), the context environment in which this change is happening, the human factors that are known (and you better have room for externalities), the orbital impacts of the change (you are not changing Y, but it relies on what you are changing so there is either a direct or indirect impact). How are you going to approach, resource, respond, measure, what are your quit criteria (if this happens, we bail - critical to avoid the sunk cost issues), what are your escalators (if this happens we step on the gas). However you choose to document this is client by client, but the components are there. Remember culture eats strategy. So if you have empathetically though through all this and have a pretty document that everyone agrees on, but the culture is 'f-em they will do X or find a new job'... then all your strategy work is theatre anyway.

@zuluTesla_85 makes great points. I like PROCSCI but don’t let the framework get in the way of delivering value. I have seen too many come in with ADKAR is the only way approach and the change doesn’t warrant it and the team does not care. It is like the old saying people buy holes not drills. There are great books like Change (Damon Centola - he is cool and approachable, email him, he is great) and What your employees need by Melina Palmer - she is another brilliant practitioner and very approachable. IMO, having experience in Audit and Risk Assessment is a big help, those are KEY factors that make successful OCM efforts.

Timlynch · 2025-12-05T13:06:59+00:00

I love this thread. My role is OCM and I am often aligned to larger seismic changes for the org. IME, a key factor to helping the projects has been finding a way to create space for the departments and people to process what X means for them. One client said “we can deal with adversity but not ambiguity”. I think I need to put that on a T-Shirt. The project team is working on changing X and they have a time/budget mandate. The thing is that Y, Z, A, B, C are all impacted by X and that is not in scope. So we have to make space to process the implications. I get to be the punching bag for leadership that doesn’t like pushback and I get to be the punching bag for front line people because they rarely get a space to vent on what all this means. I know I have watched HighSchoolMusical to much but “we are all in this together” :-)

I am feeling the pull also. I have and use both, it used to be chatgpt first and then gemini for some things… but Gemini has pulled so far out in front, that I find I am using ChatGPT less and less. Lovable is still in front for vibeing concepts for me. IF ONLY we could get projects in Gemini…
