In this episode, (26 min. long) we talk with Jaime Teevan, chief scientist for Microsoft’s Experiences and Devices, where she’s charged with creating the future of productivity. She also developed the first personalized search algorithm used by Bing and introduced microproductivity into Microsoft Office. 

This conversation centers around a report by Jaime Teevan and her colleagues at Microsoft, which is what they believe to be the world’s largest synthesis of findings related to how people’s work practices have evolved since the start of the pandemic. She gives insights into our “New Normal” — and what our “Next Normal” may look like, too.  And she tells us how web science has informed this research. Most of us have felt the effects of the pandemic on the way we work, but Jaime breaks down why. To hear all this and more, listen to this episode.
