Yes. As an introvert, I never thought I would long for the phone call to the office, but it was so simple.

"If you forget your login, call our wonderful school secretary, Marjorie. No, you can’t just call the office to tell Marjorie your kid is sick; you’ll need to call the office to retrieve your PITA login information, then log in to PITA to tell PITA your kid is sick."

Yup. In my own career, I can absolutely track the shift from "my job is to deliver code" to "my job is to deliver alignment." TED Talks were one of the things I drew from to figure out how to do that.
