Hybrid Collaboration

The future of the workplace is hybrid and so is the future of collaboration. This new work model presents challenges and opportunities for organizations as they reevaluate their space and the role it plays. To earn people’s commute, the workplace needs to become a destination and offer more today than it did before. This includes engaging technology tools that not only support the hybrid workforce, but that incentivizes employees to want to come to the office for more productive and enjoyable collaboration experiences. And these tools need to work seamlessly from home to office - where remote and in-office employees can contribute on a level playing field.

Synchronous and Asynchronous Collaboration

Time is a limited resource, and this is only compounded in the workplace. Collaboration that is both synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (solo/free time) is necessary throughout the day. Meetings are being retooled as a time to synthesize and review work that is done offline by individuals, on their own work schedule. Using a visual collaboration tool supports all of this work on a shared digital workspace. The digital canvas can be updated by different collaborators during the meeting in real-time or asynchronously on their own time - the work is ongoing and means teams can pick up right where they left off meeting to meeting.

Flexibility

As people return to the workplace, one thing is certain: the only constant is change. Organizations are rethinking their approach to the physical workspace so that it can support hybrid teams and work schedules. To this end, technology must provide more flexibility than it ever has before. Software-based solutions provide a way to keep up with ever-changing needs. Updates can be pushed remotely and provide new features to users as they need them. Flexibility should also mean supporting the many platforms, devices, and software applications of today’s workforce.

better hybrid collaboration

Not only does in-person collaboration need to shift to meet people’s new needs and expectations, but hybrid collaboration as well. Technology can bridge the gap between physical and digital collaboration and enhance the experience for all involved. People want their meetings to feel inclusive, productive and engaging, and the technology tools to be easy and intuitive to use.

Equity: Strive for equity and inclusion despite location.

Engagement: Design experiences across a range of settings that are human and engaging.

Ease: Design a variety of intuitive virtual and physical experiences that are easy to navigate.

APPLICATION IDEAS

mobile cart

Collaboration today happens everywhere. Why not take your interactive display with you where you need it with a rolling mobile cart? This option gives you the flexibility to relocate the display to open lounge or meeting areas as well as conference or huddle rooms – wherever teams want to videoconference or share content.

Design considerations:

• Position the display away from windows to avoid glare.

• Best for displays no larger than 65” wide.

• Power access.

Examples of room types include:

• Open collaboration spaces

• Huddle Space

• Meeting Rooms (small to large)

• Team / Project Rooms

• Corporate Training

• Agile / Design Thinking Spaces

APPLICATION IDEAS

single display

Take your conference and meeting spaces to the next level with one large interactive display centered for optimal viewing and participation. Ideal for 1 to 3 individuals interacting with the display at one time.

Design considerations:

• Hang display at a height to accommodate both those viewing the content and interacting with the display or hang on an articulating mount.

• Keep the area directly underneath the display clear so individuals can easily interact with content.

Examples of room types include:

• Huddle Space

• Meeting Rooms (small to medium)

• Design / Innovation Labs

• Corporate Training

• Team / Project Rooms

From large scale visualization to executive briefings and command and control operations.

Design considerations:

• Option to hang displays portrait or landscape depending on the furniture layout, room size and desired interaction experience.

• Consider installing multiple cameras for different angles and views of the content and participants.

• Create a unique brand and storytelling opportunity in lobby spaces with a touch-friendly video wall. From large-scale interactive timelines to geographic maps, and branded modules.

EDUCATION APPLICATIONS

interactive displays + learning

Collaboration technology can enhance active learning environments for instructors and students alike. Cloud based interactive software can help increase faculty and student interaction whether in one classroom or across multiple sites and devices seamlessly. Software like T1V ThinkHub Education provides instructors a powerful presentation or lecture tool, while enabling them to monitor and provide feedback on student and faculty work in real time. Student’s ideas can integrate and flow more continuously, whether working side by side or with remote peers, instead of working on siloed parts of the project.

Design considerations:

• Option to integrate the display into tables for student group work.

• Instructor can interact on a personal display that is broadcasted to other displays - whether for lecture hall presentations or for group collaboration where students could annotate and share back.

• Select display size and mounting height based on the interaction desiredare the students viewing content only or interacting with the display?

Examples of room types include:

• Lecture halls

• Classrooms

• Media Centers

• Lobbies

• Alumni and Visitors Centers
