Key Takeaways
Asynchronous discussions can lose momentum because participants are focused on different tasks. For complex or important topics, it’s often better to switch to synchronous communication.
At least in my experience working in a Japanese-speaking organization, AI-generated messages are often still too verbose to send as-is. As writing becomes cheaper, it’s even more important to reduce the cognitive load on readers.
Async-first does not mean async-only. Keeping written records while introducing short meetings when necessary can reduce the overall cost of communication.
