Creating the Future of Work

AV Everywhere

To see the future of work, it helps to have the insight of companies that have grown through years of changes. Bring together some of the most well known and successful businesses in a collaborative environment and ask, “How will people collaborate in the workplace of the future?”

That’s what AVI-SPL is doing with its Customer Advisory Board, which includes Fidelity, MasterCard, the Walt Disney Company and other high-profile corporations. You’ve seen the changes that have affected and improved upon workplace collaboration, like technology systems that allow remote teams to share and work on documents in real time. In the CAB fall retreat, members looked ahead to the technology systems that will become standard and the expectations they’ll help shape.

In her summary of the fall CAB retreat, SVP of Marketing Kelly Bousman highlights some of the group’s research-based talking points and assumptions:

  • People are changing jobs more often.
  • Connectivity and collaboration are a business priority.
  • People expect workplace flexibility. That flexibility includes using their preferred digital technology to work with online colleagues.

Bousman lists the issues (including worker and business demands) that CAB members think they’ll need to address today and years from now. Such challenges include:

  • Voice control of room devices.
  • Artificial Intelligence.
  • An infrastructure that meets the increasing demand for wireless and video collaboration technologies.

The article concludes by looking at the agreed-upon approaches for dealing with the future of work and its challenges. AVI-SPL’s Customer Advisory Board continues to reap benefits from thinking about the future of work. In sharing this, you too may be inspired to reach out to AVI-SPL and talk about getting your workplace ready for future success.

This webinar looks at NEC’s Analytics Learning Platform (ALP) and how it drives business intelligence so that retailers using digital signage improve the customer experience and increase their sales. The NEC ALP is device agnostic and designed to be the heart of a retail selling strategy. Richard Ventura of NEC Display explains the ability of ALP to:

  • Deliver actionable insights that shape efforts like marketing ads
  • Trigger content toward a person as they enter the store
  • Measure in-store engagement and compare different results from different stores
  • Benefit other industries and applications

AVI-SPL digital signage expert Richard Daugherty emphasizes the importance of content to maximize results that ALP will track, and discusses AVI-SPL’s ability to create that content.

Commercial Integrator editor-in-chief Tom LeBlanc leads this discussion, which includes a Q&A session with those who attended the live event.

AV is about adaptation and being able to support legacy meeting and conferencing equipment while designing systems for the ever- changing workplace environment.

  • Basic components of a sound system, key audio concepts, and the differences between digital and analog audio.
  • How room acoustics and noise affect the intelligibility of the audio, what feedback is and what causes it.
  • Basics of microphones – how they work, the use and placement for different microphone types and the pros and cons of selecting and using either wired or wireless microphones.
  • How different-sized rooms relate to the sound system that would be selected and how to distinguish between a discussion and conference system.

How to Attract and Retain Your Talent

AV Everywhere

When companies describe the success they have with technology, they talk about the ability to reduce costs, collaborate more effectively, and improve productivity. Without the tech systems to enable that success, companies struggle to keep their best employees.

Digital transformation is about adapting to external technology changes so that companies give their employees the tools they need and expect in the workplace. In a recent article I contributed to No Jitter, I explain why an element of digital transformation — digital dexterity — should be a key objective of companies looking to improve their operations and grow by keeping and attracting the best employees. Digital dexterity is the ability to use technology systems that support business outcomes and control how one works. Read the post to learn:

  • The consequences of ignoring digital dexterity
  • How to promote a culture that embraces collaboration
  • The benefits of the digital workplace

The article also includes links to brief, valuable resources you’ll want to bookmark and share.
