Can you make sense of when a baby is babbling? No, right?
Metaverse is similar. Lots of words and no substance.

Honestly it’s still in very early stages and forming and no one really knows but it’s a combination of a few things. 1. Collaboration - imagine meetings in a virtual room and instead of pictures on Teams, you are in a virtual room with avatars for all participants 2. Virtual reality- now in that meeting room with avatars, you use a device like oculus - so u are actually seeing more life like avatars of people u r meeting and 3. Gaming and virtual world: now expand your meeting room concept to a larger world. Games have built large worlds in the gaming world - so u can use that and have a larger space to collaborate/work and interact.

How it will all come together? No one really knows and I am sure there are some ideas a little more mature than others. But imagine u use this virtual world to log in and go apply for ur drivers license or open a bank account instead of physically going there.

PwC actually has a decent framework if you look it up. It is more than just virtual reality. It has to be persistent for example and a few other key things to make it an actual meta verse.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
