I agree with a lot of the criticism commented so far, that it could be biased (even unintentionally), how do you really measure innovation and so on. But... just based on my own experiences and gut, I kind of agree. It seems harder to innovate now. I get it this is anecdotal or whatever, but when we were all together, there were so many times when; maybe in the hallway yaking, or break room, and just casually talking, then next thing you know we are in a huddle room white boarding something. That's just not happening now. We have tried different things, Slack threads, scheduled Bluejeans calls etc. but I don't feel like we have replicated it. And a lot of my colleagues agree, we talk about it openly. We all love WFH, but miss the synergy.
I sometimes wonder if there is a technical solution we are all missing? I dunno, AR/VR, something to bring back that certain je ne sais quoi of all being in one place?
