Colocation used to remove frictions. Being physically together in an office was an efficient and effective way to communicate with colleagues, exchange ideas, and generate new ones. Now, colocation is the friction. Digitization, ubiquitous high-speed internet, affordable access to high-quality training and education, and, most recently, the vast Covid-19-induced WFH experiment have shown that distributed work arrangements at a global scale can work and, in fact, do work. This gives rise to enormous opportunities and challenges.
