INCLUSIVE MODERN MEETINGS

The needs of the workforce have changed, and employers are increasingly offering hybrid and flexible working. Organisations must therefore support employees through the change so they can continue to share information and ideas with their colleagues. Employers must also develop and evolve a collaborative, motivated culture across dispersed workforces.

Computacenter and Microsoft are laying the foundations for effective hybrid collaboration through a considered, people-first approach. Our partnership is helping organisations build more ways to co-create, innovate, and achieve strategic priorities.

“Tools should follow – not lead – new ways of working.”

THE COLLABORATION CONVERSATION

How can organisations reinvent their physical spaces to provide great meeting experiences for everyone – as well as the right business outcomes? How can they ensure every colleague can contribute to meetings, whether they’re remote or physically in the room? And what does the future of collaboration look like across a dynamic, dispersed hybrid working environment?

Ashley Richardson, Workplace Chief Technologist, Computacenter, and Helen Finley, Surface Channel Development Manager at Microsoft, share their thoughts in this video.

FASTER, MORE INTUITIVE EXPERIENCES

The days of hunting for cables and frustrating conference call connections are ending. Now colleagues can join meetings with a single click or even via automatic proximity sensors when they enter the room. Digital whiteboards make brainstorming and idea-sharing intuitive and open to all, especially with seamless collaboration tools that allow users to cast content direct from their mobile phones onto larger screens. New interaction methods including voice assistance, plus additional options for presenting or contributing are also making in-person and virtual meetings more natural and more inclusive.

TAKING TEAMWORK TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Physical location should be no barrier to effective brainstorming and collaboration. Organisations need to adopt a fresh approach to meetings by examining infrastructure, policies and devices, and ensuring they are suitable for gatherings that may take place in-person, virtually, or a combination of both.

A BETTER WAY TO WORK TOGETHER

Computacenter and Microsoft are equipping organisations with collaboration tools that help teams co-create more productively. Microsoft Surface Hub 2S interactive whiteboards, intelligent content capture and real-time responsiveness are driving information sharing and innovation.
