“The future workplace is all about experience,” said Mark Smith, partner, ISG Software Research, and host of the ISG Future Workplace Summit. “Our study results show that enterprises understand the imperative of delivering quality experiences to the end customer, which requires quality experiences for everyone in the enterprise. The challenge now is identifying, implementing and leveraging the technologies that can deliver those experiences to all stakeholders.”
The first day of the Summit will focus on platforms and applications that are shaping the digital workplace and will include ISG expert-led sessions on the impact of AI and IT on workplace productivity.
On day one, Jeff Martin, vice president of workplace experience at Wells Fargo; Michelle Tran, founding partner of Crest Collective; Brooke Menchaca, director of talent acquisition at Harbor Freight Tools, and Danielle Farage, founder and Gen Z Expert at happi@work, will participate in a panel discussion, “Bridging the Digital Generational Gap,” to share lessons on uniting generations in technology adoption.
