We are now living in the new normal. Sometimes you’ll be in the office. Sometimes you’ll be at home. And sometimes the people you’re working with will be in the office or working at home. How do you plan for this, and how do you build workflows and create infrastructure for jobs big and small?
Sam Mestman and Steven Niedzielski from OWC will map out some strategies for you. They will help you create the flexible infrastructure you need. With practical solutions for fast turnaround content, long-form projects and large organization-based workflows, we will give you the tools you need to approach whatever the new normal throws your way. Whether you’re working from home or at the office or you and your team is doing a little bit of both, this presentation will give you the tools you need to approach whatever you’re doing.
