@ BoC’s Annual IC conference in London, Beem delivered a two-part talk about the shifting landscape of workplace & enterprise technology and how not being in control is a good thing! Commitment to large annual spend on enterprise platforms Driving engagement from the top down Long installation cycles No idea if your people want or value the platform No clear sense of ROI All pretty familiar? Well, learn to embrace the tech explorers within your organisation. Nurture the green shoots and provide platforms that both inspire and drive internal value directly from your grass roots Secondly, engaging your front-line employees. Studies have shown that non-desk workers perceive a lack of communication from C-suite, to be a lack of interest in them and their contribution to the bottom line. Reaching and engaging with front-line workers is as challenging as it is exciting, but there can be no denying that traditional comms isn’t effective or sustainable given the landscape of technology. Embrace mobile! It’s that simple! Talk to your people how and where they want to be reached – on their own device! Be immediate, be simple and be effective For many organisations front-line employees will be the only representative of your company that customers will experience. So, engagement, feedback and conversations with your no-desk employees is key! We love to chat, so if you want to know more about Beem, get in touch @wearebeem or say hey! hey@wearebeem.com

13. IT nightmare?
Perhaps...
Innovation opportunity?
Definitely.

14. And It’s already happening.
So just like the explosion of
social, it’s time for businesses
to adapt to nurture and own it.

15. We believe your people are
your business case. So why
take the risk when introducing
new platforms.
Follow the emergent trends.

that actively seek it
