Workplace Apps – Productivity Utopia or Pandora’s box?
Our speaker for this month is Richard Excell from Excell Design & Marketing.
In this talk, Richard will explore the impact of workplace apps, which can be a double-edged sword. We’ll discuss the benefits they bring, such as improved communication, task management, time management, and document collaboration. We’ll also delve into the consequences of using too many apps, including information overload, fragmented communication, and decreased productivity.
He’ll provide advice on how to evaluate workplace apps, considering factors such as necessity, usability, integration, and cost. We’ll conclude with the importance of using apps judiciously to avoid ‘app fatigue’ and the need for regular evaluation to ensure they’re still serving your team effectively.
Finally, we’ll share and discuss some top workplace productivity apps and and how they have helped individual businesses in the room.
