Creating opportunities for serendipitous meetings between people or teams is one of the challenges of remote work. Several ways to create similar opportunities without needing to rely on chance.

The idea of relying on chance encounters to drive innovation within an organization is insane.

Do I think that an organization should rely on chance encounters to drive innovation? Certainly not, but that doesn't mean there's not value in such serendipitous encounters.

Sometimes the value of such encounters is simply that you understand the daily trials and tribulations of another department better and can use that information to better communicate with them.
