Redesigning Meeting Spaces of the Future

Recent events and global cultural shifts have encouraged employers to rethink their workplace policies and accommodate a more flexible hybrid work model. These days, employees are in constant motion across office, home, and “third spaces.” But this new way of working requires companies to adopt new technologies that better support collaboration.

Meeting rooms still have a place in our future, but they’ll need to foster collaboration with employees in the room as well as with those joining remotely. According to Dell-commissioned research conducted by Wainhouse, 78% of IT and meeting rooms decision makers believe the utilization of video-conferencing enabled meeting rooms will increase. Additionally, 69% expect to increase their budgets for meeting room technologies.

Meeting planners and attendees are constantly looking for easy to use technology that drives a seamless experience in the meeting space. They’re looking for a fast and fluid experience. This includes being able to instantly share information, chat over video and connect accessories that boost our productivity. Yet when it comes to conference rooms and other shared spaces, we often struggle to find an intuitive, uncomplicated experience. It’s more likely that we’re dealing with poor audiovisual experiences, incompatible ports, malfunctioning equipment and an array of devices needed to launch a meeting.

To tackle these issues, modern display solutions should offer users the ability to:

Connect quickly with seamless casting technology that is easy to install and easy to use

Present and share content confidently, knowing that both video and audio is crisp and clear

Collaborate with onscreen annotation and data capture, so users can easily save and share content remotely and in person.

According to Wainhouse Research, adding interactive monitors to meeting rooms yields extensive productivity benefits like saving 11.3 minutes for every one hour meeting. Fifty percent of respondents cite improved employee engagement and greater creativity.
