What will a modern workplace look like in a post-pandemic world?
With the needs of businesses and the expectations of their employees changing faster than ever, executives can no longer bank on gut feelings and personal experience alone to take on workplace planning and design challenges. The future of workspace planning and design will require a balance of experience and data science.
Blueprint has gathered industry experts to discuss what’s needed as the world embraces the new normal. They will detail modern office solutions that have worked and those that haven’t and lead a discussion around the shifting needs of offices and what technology will be in demand in a post-pandemic workplace. As digital transformation experts with expertise in data science and workplace modernization, Blueprint is here to ensure that your tech serves your mission and your customers and gives you the leading edge you need to remain competitive.
