Five years from now, almost half of US workers – about 63 million people – will work virtually. This will change everything – from designing Information Workplace strategies that help people collaborate, to delivering content experiences to people across channels, to engaging the next-generation workforce to serve customers better. The mobile workforce is not just about shiny new devices like smartphones, tablets, and apps. It's about delivering your workplace experience – across social, content, and collaboration technologies – to employees and customers when and where they need it. Is your workplace ready for the mobile workforce?
Forrester's Content & Collaboration Forum 2011 will explore what current demand for more portable, social workplace experiences means for your workplace strategy. The Forum will share the latest trends in technology adoption and how firms forge better business outcomes from a more mobile, social, and virtual workforce. Learn how traditional collaboration platforms like SharePoint, social technology tools, and content systems will adapt to meet the new demands of virtual work. In the Forrester style you've come to expect, this Event will combine practical but forward-looking advice on preparing for the workplace of the future.
To capitalize on this shift, participants in this Event will learn:
- Winning strategies to engage a more mobile, social workforce. Workplace experiences increasingly shape customer experiences. Hear from analysts, industry experts, and senior leaders on how they've provided managers and employees with the tools they need to delight customers.
- The future of mobile workforce technology adoption. Forrester's unprecedented Workforce Forrsights data on information workers sheds new light on the future workplace. Take a peek into the latest social, mobile, and collaboration tools and trends that employees and customers will use to engage, interact, and co-create.
- How to adapt your collaboration and content strategies to a virtual future. The age of pads, pods, droids, and playbooks has thus far left traditional collaboration tools like SharePoint in the Stone Age. Get Forrester's take on whether essential collaboration capabilities will survive the mobile workforce evolution and what you can do about it now.
Key takeaways for this Event will include:
