The vast majority of scholars and practitioners believe that working synchronously is essential for creativity. With the rise of remote work and flexible work schedules, however, team members can often collaborate on the same project without being in the same time zone — much less the same office. When team members contribute to a joint outcome but work completely separately — not even coordinating over Zoom or phone — we call their work asynchronous. Asynchronous teamwork is rapidly growing, and it has tremendous consequences for creativity in the future of work.
