Re-imagining the workplace

New technologies of all kinds are often applied to known processes, bringing automation and efficiency. While there is nothing wrong with this, the real gain comes from re-imagining what work looks like, and how to bring improvements beyond mere efficiency.

Your facilitator, Michael Sampson (http://michaelsampson.net/about-michael/) will explore with you this idea as it relates to new collaboration and social tools, and provide practical guidance on being able to re-imagine effective work.

Michael's presentation will cover:

• The significant changes in the available tools in recent years.

• The problem with introducing new tools into current organisational frameworks.

• A playbook for seeing beyond the surface changes and pursuing transformation.

Also be prepared to participate in a hypothetical exploration of the topic.
