Remote-friendly is not enough anymore. Here's what remote-excellent looks like

The first wave of remote work had a low bar. Companies went remote because a pandemic gave them no choice. Being remote at all was the differentiator. The second wave is different. It is voluntary, which means it is competitive. Companies now choose whether to offer remote flexibility. Which means the employees choosing to work for them have genuine alternatives. According to Buffer, 98% of workers want remote work at least some of the time. 46% would consider leaving if forced back to office full-time.

The Second Wave of Remote Work - and Who Wins It

98% of workers want remote work at least some of the time. 46% would consider leaving if forced back to office full-time. Remote is no longer a differentiator. It is the floor. At @RunningRemote 2026, Nick Francis, Chairman of @hellohelpscout, introduced the Remote Excellence Audit, five dimensions that separate organizations that are remote by policy from organizations that are remote by design.

Margin control for professional services: the ops system that protects delivery profit

Margin control is not a finance vocabulary quiz. In professional services, it is the operating system that decides whether a client project still pays for itself while your team is still delivering it. I spent years on the delivery side of agencies watching "healthy" projects quietly bleed. The decks looked fine, the status calls sounded fine, and then finance closed the month and the delivery margin was gone.

7 best agency software tools for billable teams (2026)

Most “agency software” lists still rank task boards. Billable agencies need something different: a system that keeps multi-client delivery, capacity, and commercial truth on the same page while the work is still moving. I work at Teamwork.com. Earlier I ran delivery on the agency side — concurrent accounts, retainers that looked fine in the pitch deck, and resourcing grids that went stale by lunch.

PSA implementation: the margin-safe go-live map for services teams

Most PSA projects get sold as a software install and fail as an operating-model change. The license is the easy part. The hard part is whether utilization, rate cards, and project margin still disagree with each other after go-live — quietly, for weeks, while leadership plans as if the numbers are real. That is what PSA implementation has to solve. You are not swapping task boards.

Best PSA software for agencies and consultancies in 2026

Best PSA software for agencies and consultancies in 2026 - ranked and compared. If your sales sit in one tool, projects in another, and billing in a third — while your actual profit margins disappear into a spreadsheet — this video is for you. Professional Services Automation (PSA) software pulls project delivery, resource planning, time tracking, billing, and profitability into one system so you can see whether client work is making money WHILE it’s happening, not at month-end.

7 best IT consulting software tools for 2026

There's a specific kind of dread that hits when two senior consultants are double-booked on different client programs and nobody noticed until the standup. The board looked green. The utilization report looked "fine." The week was already lost. I work at Teamwork.com now, and before that I spent nine years running client delivery at agencies.
