Event Details

Webinar Agenda

Recent events have caused a significant shift in how we work, communicate and collaborate with both colleagues and customers. This disruption comes at a time that many businesses have already been working toward digital transformation strategies. As such, many of those plans have either been accelerated or uprooted to provide a rapid response to mandated stay at home and work from home orders. Other businesses have needed to react to the disruptive changes, either adapting their systems to enable remote work or abandoning them for quickly deployed communications services. Ultimately, a number of trends have arisen from the current crisis:

  • The need to collaborate in the anytime, virtually anywhere work environment is critical at the moment and will extend beyond current events
  • Decisions made today will have a direct impact on the “next normal”, which will likely include a hybrid of workers returning to the office and those extending work at home assignments
  • The right partner can make the unimaginable possible today, including rapid transitions to work from home while keeping employees connected and scaling to support entirely new communications paradigms

Join the Webinar and listen to thought leaders discuss how communication partners can help in all steps of the digital communications journey, including rapid response to business and communications challenges, realigning your business’ approach to digital transformation to reflect today’s new normal, and strategically plan for the next normal tomorrow.

Learn from the experiences of others, participate in a live Q&A, and walk away with actionable strategies for your own organization.
