Learning Objectives:
- Share and measure best practices for existing mobile workforce systems and solutions for large and small organizations as well as gain a better understanding of the tools and techniques for developing a mobile, dynamic design workforce
- Use case studies and lessons learned as future migration paths toward a virtually connected architecture practice and map a current and future state model for the creation and management of a successful and sustainable distributed workforce
- Identify risk and reward maps for employers with a growing distributed workforce and employees who are operating in the realm of the always-connected employer
