TRANSFORMING THE WORKSPACE AND THE WORKFLOWS

“Did you leverage the change climate of a workplace transformation project and integrate any digital transformation objectives into the scope of your project?”

The change climate associated with a workplace transformation project represents a rare opportunity to accomplish digital transformation objectives as well. By enhancing the technology that your colleagues use at the workplace, you can improve the employee experience, support more effective collaboration, and create efficient workflows. Data collection and analysis can drive especially powerful insights that greatly optimize the use of physical workspaces, taking an organization to an entirely new level of operational and creative excellence.

 

“Our main objective is to determine how to best use technology and workplace features to help promote our brand and messages that enhance the employee experience.”

 

I’ve found that while you can provide the vehicles for digital transformation, it’s only as good as the content you’re providing and maintenance supporting that transformation. For example, we can provide thousands of screens for digital signage and wayfinding, but if we’re not working closely with our marketing, communications, and business teams to feed them useful information, we lose the value of those technologies.

Our main objective is to determine how to best use technology and workplace features to help promote our brand and messages that enhance the employee experience.
