The term digital transformation has been grossly overused over the last few years, it’s much simpler than some would have you believe and so I’ve simplified its name to “becoming digital”. In this episode, I’m going to talk about what it means to “become digital”, where you start and some of the decisions you’ll be taking along the way.Learn moreListen, read the transcript and learn more at https://digitalworkplacepodcast.com/becoming-digital/Don’t forget to subscribe to the Digital Workplace Podcast and leave a rating and review on iTunes.Speakpipe - Have your sayIf you want to ask a question, head over to DigitalWorkplacePodcast.com and leave a 90-second audio message using the SpeakPipe.Affiliate linkTo try Canva Pro click this link.

There are many change management methodologies. Ranging from next to no change management at all, to structured formal systems such as Prosci ADKAR®.I’m known for a no-nonsense approach to just about everything I do, probably stemming from my LEAN background and the desire to drive out waste anywhere I see it. However, when it comes to change management you really do need to think about it in the context of your organisation.In this episode, I’m going to talk about the essential elements you need to consider when implementing change as your organisation becomes digital.Change plan templateTo get my change planner template, head over to virtco.com/change to download a copy.Learn moreListen, read the transcript and learn more at https://digitalworkplacepodcast.com/change-management/Don’t forget to subscribe to the Digital Workplace Podcast and leave a rating and review on iTunes.

Personas are not new, they’re not digital either. So why am I talking about them today? Well, they’re an extremely useful tool to have in your toolbox as you try to enable your organisation become digital. Digital ways of working are not a one size fits all approach, so you need to identify the cohorts of users in your organisation who have roughly the same needs. For example, a remote worker will have different needs to a warehouse operative.In this episode, I’m going to explain how you can identify the different personas in your organisation, develop their persona profiles, identify their personal pain points and build a digital strategy to make their job easier, more productive and less stressful for them.0:34 Show Outline1:55 News2:34 Main FeatureLearn moreListen, read the transcript and learn more at https://digitalworkplacepodcast.com/personasDon’t forget to subscribe to the Digital Workplace Podcast and leave a rating and review on iTunes.Speakpipe - Have your sayIf you want to ask a question, head over to DigitalWorkplacePodcast.com and leave a 90-second audio message using the Speakpipe.Affiliate linkTo try Canva Pro click this link.

In this episode I talk about hardware choices, and how you can make the right ones for your users and organisation. Sometimes the right choice is obvious, but often it’s a real dilemma.

In this episode, I talk about infrastructure redesign for a modern digital workplace. You're probably familiar with VPN connections into a "secure" corporate network and having lots of on-premise servers providing your IT services. Well I'm going to throw all that out of the window, you don't need it and it's holding your organisation back.

In this episode I'm going to talk about hybrid meetings and hybrid working.For nearly two years we haven’t really been back to the office. Now that people are starting to go back, what they find seems like the dark ages. Their meeting rooms, if they even have any communications capability at all, are only equipped with rudimentary audio-conferencing equipment. Often with only a speakerphone. While working from home employees had a great meeting experience, and that’s what they are expecting back in the office. Employees are expecting hybrid meetings to be as good as they have on their laptops while sitting on the sofa in their living room.0:36 Show outline1:53 News4:04 Main featureLearn moreListen, read the transcript and learn more at https://digitalworkplacepodcast.com/hybrid-working/Don’t forget to subscribe to the Digital Workplace Podcast and leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.Speakpipe - Have your sayIf you want to ask a question, head over to DigitalWorkplacePodcast.com and leave a 90-second audio message using the SpeakPipe.Affiliate linkWhen working remotely we recommend you always use a VPN service.
