The Future of Collaboration
David Coleman
Managing Director, Collaborative Strategies
Imagine a future where documents are so intelligent they can help you find the right people you need to review, markup or interact with you around them. Imagine a future where "collaboration" is a a commodity like bandwidth, or phone calls. Imagine a future where not only people are competing for your attention but smart objects like your refrigerator, the road your driving on or even bots and avatars. Join David Coleman, the always provocative Managing Director of Collaborative Strategies as he covers where we are today in the adoption of collaboration, and as he peers into his crystal ball to embellish some of these pragmatic or fanciful scenarios for a collaborative future. |
