Journey to the Modern Digital Workplace
April 2020 | Microsoft Teams Live Event – RealFoundations hosted its inaugural Microsoft Teams Live Event with four industry thought leaders on April 7, 2020 discussing each journey to their modern digital workplace. They described challenges faced along the way and lasting benefits realized through Working Out Loud. See below for highlights and link to full video.
Overview
Real estate companies are forging ahead in a rapidly changing work environment. They are shifting their strategies, products, services, infrastructure and operating models to meet new challenges. They must also rethink the way personnel engage and communicate with one another. Making the most of the digital work environment relies on the ability of your workforce to connect, collaborate and drive innovation. In fact, a company’s digital workplace strategy can be the key enabler of, or hindrance to, its productivity and ability to move initiatives forward.
“We didn’t miss a beat. We have been operating very seamlessly. We’re all in Teams…it’s a game changer. It has literally transformed the way we do business.”
– Lisa Swenerton, General Manager and Director, Southern California Edison
“Change is always difficult, but using new technology to enable the collaboration, sharing and teamwork is kind of a basic requirement these days. So if you can’t provide this for your workforce and you don’t put tools like this in place, you’re going to be quickly falling behind.“
– Greg Moore, VP/CIO, KB Home
“At first there was a bit of hesitancy about the huge increase in transparency, but very quickly the value of teammates being able to weigh in on matters that were not previously visible to them became apparent. The increased transparency was no longer seen as a risk, but as an asset because it enabled staff to tap the knowledge and experience of their teammates.”
– Loren P. King, CEO and Co-Founding Member, Trinitas
“We have been able to get real work done. We have a lot of reporting to do from an accounting standpoint that we have been able to do in a timely manner. We’ve had no hiccups and our clients haven’t even noticed that we’ve left the office which I think is pretty phenomenal.”
– Melissa L. Smith, CAO, Fogelman
“From our perspective, we’ve gone all in – from Teams to SharePoint to all of the collaboration tools that Microsoft has offered. We’ve seen great results with the Microsoft Ecosystem and made it a part of our everyday work in project delivery from beginning to end.”
– Dylan Rhea, Enterprise Managing Consultant, RealFoundations
