MDW: A Day in the Life of an Enterprise Executive
Transitioning Operations from a Traditional Office to “Over-Distance”
May 2020 | CEO Insight – When the Coronavirus triggered ‘stay at home’ orders starting in March 2020, many real estate companies lacked the technology and culture to seamlessly transition operations from a traditional office to “over-distance”. However, amid the remote-work disruption, RealFoundations Co-Founder and Enterprise Managing Consultant David Stanford states the last two months have been “business as usual”, thanks to the Modern Digital Workplace supported by Microsoft 365.
In our latest video linked below, David describes his typical workday and how the enterprise-wide practice of working out loud, combined with the tools and places of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem enables him to stay informed, view in-progress work, interject and redirect work product, connect people to information, co-author documents and execute work (both for the firm and clients), regardless of location.
“Seventy percent of my collaboration within the Modern Digital Workplace is carried out from my mobile device. Working out loud within Microsoft 365 keeps me connected, whether I’m on a plane, in a coffee shop or at my home office.”
— David Stanford, Enterprise Managing Consultant, RealFoundations
