Organisational Culture and the role of IT - What will the ‘new normal’ look like?
Watch the video
Synopsis
A year on, after much challenge and change encountered, many of us are asking what the world of work will look like in post-Covid times. How can we harness the different, respective advantages of virtual and face to face working to best effect?
In some organisations hardly anything has changed. In others, the move to virtual working has been seemingly so successful that the aim is to become ‘virtual first’ going forwards.
How can we best reintroduce face to face collaboration to drive innovation and business growth yet balance other environmental considerations and employee preferences? Our panel will explore the opportunities this new way of working could bring and discuss what this means for the IT function in organisations.
