Depends on what you sre doing. Traditional business case work can likely be done mostly offsite.

A lot of my work could move to 50/50 model...a lot of "collaboration" sessions with executives to design their new OpModels / Org Designs. I could get away with smarter planning around onsite vs offsite if they didn't like having me around as their confidant...

So I work from their office for their random questions and it makes them more comfortable.

Could anyone provide me with a quick analysis on emissions for cars? My country is considering to lower the speed limit in the night to 100 km/h (currently 130 km/h on some highways). I wonder whether this actually has a positive influence on emissions? Because the decreased speed also results in longer travel times. And aren’t the emissions very car specific as well? I can imagine old cars would be more polluting but I doubt if there would be a difference for modern cars? And what about fuel?

Good evening all. I’m joining AAI later this month and I need to check how much travel is happening.
