Welcome to the 4th Annual Digital Workplace Summit.

We are halfway through 2020 and the world of internal communications has been forever changed.

During this networking session we encourage you to turn on your camera to "meet" your IC peers from across the nation. You'll have this opportunity to discuss your challenges with your peers and find commonalities for what you're experiencing.

Digital workplace projects promise to transform companies from tired legacy thinking into teams of engaged employees that disrupt their competitors.

But, let's be honest, these projects have a way of getting off track. In fact, 60-80% of digital workplace projects fail. Two of the most frequently sited reasons: not understanding the unique planning process, and no plan for change management.

This session will dive into what should be included in your O365 roadmap, what applications to use and what to consider leaving out. You'll go beyond technology and into changing how your business thinks about people.

Participate in group exercises that you can bring back to your team including a deeper knowledge of how to:

• Build a business case and ROI
• Understand why different O365 applications work better for different companies and decide which one(s) work best for your role and company
• Discover why people and process are more important than the technology
• Engage a leadership team - and keep them engaged
• Understand the role of change management, journey mapping and governance in transforming your business
• Get a digital workplace roadmap workbook for free

Take this time to grab refreshments and check your email.

Be sure to check the chat window to add your thoughts on the question that has been asked.

How you work is just as important at the work you do. Build consensus around core values and key behaviors that make up the expectations for how you work by establishing a values-driven culture. A sustainable culture is propelled by multiple digital channels designed to introduce, measure, discuss, and align employee significance and impact.

Leave this session ready to identify the most important information, define your values, and create a work environment that fuels employee's collaboration. You'll also gain ideas to help you:

• Drive engagement - results without engagement are unreliable and mediocre at best
• Affirm and drive your culture through multiple digital channels
• Introduce interactive tools into your digital workplace to drive engagement
• Create a constant stream of relevant content for your employees
• Reach your employees where they are with the information, they need to know
• Harness the power of storytelling through the use of video
• Gain buy-in for new communication and engagement tools

Details coming soon!

This will be a one hour break allowing you to catch up with your work and grab a bite to eat.

Feel free to join your peers in a breakout room at any time to continue the conversation.

Will A.I. take your job? No, just the opposite. A.I. will finally help you level the playing field.

In this session, you’ll not only learn the implications of A.I. to internal communications, but you’ll have the unique opportunity to dive into actual companies that have implemented A.I. successfully. You’ll see first-hand why they did it and the results they are seeing.

Leave this session knowledgeable about A.I. and equipped with the information needed to convince your leaders that employee engagement is an investment worth making, including:

• The new employee experience driven by A.I.
• The staff experience – before and after both in terms of workload and time.
• The data A.I. can unearth for your organization and the impact it can have on your internal communications strategy moving forward

What if your employees told you the communication tools you’re using aren’t working? We got an app for that!

Learn first hand how Phillips66 implemented an internal mobile app. The app has allowed their employees to get timely, consistent, relevant content where they are. The mobile app is an ever-evolving nimble digital solution that’s allowed them to bring their communications into the future.

Leave this session ready to make the case for a mobile app in your organization, including understanding why:

• You have to sell it, even if employees say they want it
• You have to have leadership buy in and active participation
• You must manage expectations
• You need IT to be involved from the very beginning – they are critical allies
• It never stops evolving
