How technology changes the way we communicate
17 March 2021, 16:00-17:00
The impact of technology on how we communicate is not new. Ink, phone, Internet, social media and many other inventions have both improved and challenged our contacts, information flow and collaboration. Today, we can’t imagine our work without the use of technology, but do we use it to its best when communicating with our colleagues and employees?
What we'll discuss
- What does the current impact on work-related communication look like? We’ll have a look into key psychological aspects of intense technology use. We’ll also touch on the practical changes brought by the shift to remote working.
- How trends in technology affect internal communication? We’ll discuss both tools and behaviors that the trends bring, and how to cope with them.

What we'll discuss
- Actually, we’ll rather experience than discuss and you’ll have the opportunity to see how to make use of some tools.
- You will “taste” some collaboration tools and see how you could use them in your organization to make meetings more engaging for participants.
- We’ll create a list of tools to be used during online meetings.
