Welcome to asynco

A community dedicated to sharing and shaping the way we work through collective critical thinking, practically applied. Join us today!

What is asynco?

asynco is an international community of practitioners willing to explore, pioneer and shape the nature of work.

Multiple global forces are converging to accelerate shifts in the way we work. Within the knowledge economy, demand for distributed, decentralised, autonomous digital tools is on the rise.

asynco members convene to share knowledge, expertise, insights and good practices about both digital autonomy and distance working, whether it’s remote, distributed or flexible work, as it is being created. With a wide range of backgrounds, including digital sovereignty, knowledge management and collaboration, enterprise social networks and social media, community building, workplace learning, digital collaboration tools, internal communication, enterprise technology, open source, organisation design and development, members share a passion for creating inclusive, engaging and digitally autonomous workplaces where all contributors enjoy their work.

Above all, members appreciate the myriad benefits of co-creation and social learning, recognising – and regularly practising – the attitudes and behaviours that underpin trust and successful teamwork.

Why join asynco?

By becoming a member of asynco, you gain access to a peer-support network of long-time advocates and practitioners of both digital autonomy and remote, distributed and asynchronous work.

No longer alone in this new world of work, you get to learn, and co-create together, from those who have gone before – the pioneers. And be part of a community committed to shaping an inclusive, fair, equitable and digitally autonomous workplace.

Whether you are still acclimatising to become digital sovereign, or adapting to distance working (remote / distributed), or have extensive experience of new ways of working, the asynco community will help improve your practice. One conversation at a time.

What asynco members say

“We need to connect, converse, communicate, collaborate, and create within communities of diverse minds with shared values. The asynco community is one of those and I highly recommend it, especially – for the change agents out there – if you’re interested in the future of work or want to explore new, better ways of working.

I’ve reconnected with old colleagues and have met fascinating new people. The insight shared and depth of conversations I’ve seen in the past five months never ceases to amaze me.”

— Rob Caldera
