Upgrade Your Meeting Room with Right Sets of Technology
How to Enhance Meeting Room Productivity by Selecting Right Sets of Technology
Ramya Chatterjee
The way people work is changing; from a top-down approach to the collaborative workforce, maze-like corridors to single mile-long room, drab cubicle to a treadmill desk, every change in pattern is affecting the outcome at the workplace. Speaking of the meeting that makes sure everyone is up to the expected speed, has a witnessed drastic digital transformation in near future - from formal to informal, traditional to agile, face to face to electronically connected, with a sole aim to enhance meeting room productivity.
How many times have you been waiting in the meeting room to get it started, held up by a piece of technology that has refused to cooperate? Or the host is busy connecting the cable to mirror the device? Well, if we calculate the cost of time spent on just waiting, we will realize a tech upgrade is immediately needed in the meeting room, to save the precious time and enhance productivity.
As per Harvard Business Review, executives spend nearly 23 hours a week in meetings that do not include impromptu gatherings. If the initial 10 minutes of every meeting goes in just setting it up, then a big chunk of time has been lost.
Emerging Evidence
Collaboration lies at the heart of every meeting room, whether it is with colleagues, clients, partners or vendors. Merging digital communication patterns with physical spaces, meeting rooms have come a long way in the modern workspace. Employees armed with laptops and mobile phones from far-flung offices, shared workspaces and homes are collaborating and maximizing productivity.
The Problem
Tangled cables and adapters. Garbled audio. Mirroring the presentation on the projected screen. Searching for the dongles. Connecting with remote employees. Minutes tick by and participants get drifted. Most aptly, these are technology clutter and conundrum.
The Challenge
Without killing the budget or increasing the workload of the IT Support Team, companies are looking for retrofit solutions to upgrade their meeting rooms, which could augment the power of their existing set up by manifold. Even the top-notch talents and the finest leadership have lagged behind due to poor technology.
The Solution
Using the right set of technology integrated into smart connected products help in seamless collaboration in a meeting room and enhances the overall productivity, without any wait.
Smart connected products are built on entirely new technology infrastructure – new product hardware, embedded software, and cloud connectivity. With Computing, AI, and the internet
weaved into the everyday fabric of our life, these products understand the objects and environment and interact in natural ways.
Digital Transformation at Workplace
Using the right set of technology, meeting room productivity can surely be enhanced. Whether it is sharing content from different devices and communicating across multiple locations, or supporting the trend of smaller meetings; technology has always supported what users look for.
The top five feature which every executive looks for in an upgraded meeting room is simplified hosting, connecting, collaborating, sharing, and writing/annotating. Well, the expectation is not limited to the features rather the solution should be endowed with an understanding of the environment, senses the user proximity and context, intent and behaviour through advanced IoT sensors embedded in the devices.
