Hate them or love them, meetings are a part of the corporate culture.
For some, meetings are the bane of their existence, wasting hours talking, shifting blame, and covering up their unpreparedness for information that COULD HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL. With people spending 45 minutes working through the technical kinks to set up their slides Just Right, in the end, showing you 3 poorly cropped pictures they found on Google Images with the captions “Sustainability”, “Growth” and “New Market”…. thanks Jannet…
So, how come smart businesses can conference without everyone feeling like it’s a waste of time? Successfully leveraging conferencing to save employees ~55 minutes of commuting time per day — reducing fatigue, and frustration and increasing their available hours by 12.5% for a standard 8-hour workday?
Well, the answer is — EFFICIENCY.
You shouldn’t keep repeating “Can you see me?”, “Can you hear me?” when remote conferencing and there’s no need to have echo-filled calls with 10 people using their laptops in 1 room, just because the product manager had to work from home. Quick to set up, plug & play interfaces, surround sound microphones, and wide-angle cameras allow you to be anywhere in the room and just talk — separating the annoying conferencing rooms from the ones that are properly utilized to shave hours off the collective workloads of everyone involved.
So, if you’re planning to run a smart business you need to make smart choices for your workspace. Here’s where Lenovo ThinkSmart comes into play — offering everything you need for your conferencing room in 1 package. The best part? These solutions are cross-compatible, – says Adas Liubancas, Sales Manager Executive at Lenovo Baltics.
