OUR NEW REALITY
 
We have a need to revisit our purpose in a post pandemic recovery world. At Effect we’ll explore the why and how you can implement effective change across your people, productivity and planet.
/ PEOPLE

HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY ENABLE THE NEW REALITY OF WORKFORCES
  • The many ways in which new workplace technologies can provide whole of employee support where digital tools and collaboration are key:​

  • Understand the employee's situation and the environment around the employee to provide digital strategies to keep them safe.​

  • Use intelligent technologies to train employees properly in on-boarding to ensure their safety in the hybrid workplace.​

  • Use Augmented Reality to assist employees in the field to safely conduct their tasks.​

  • Capture information on safety directly from employees and automate ticketing and other ways of addressing their needs.

/ PRODUCTIVITY

HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY EMPOWER THE NEW REALITY OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND INNOVATION

An organisation's productivity is determined by the ways in which their assets and their people interact. Productivity gains are to be found in:​

  • Acquisition: People in your sourcing teams can automate the time-consuming processes of asset acquisition, using AI and machine learning and  digital contracts. Even red lining can be automated, negotiations can be assisted, and documents can be dynamically assembled. Sourcing teams then can focus on getting value from suppliers and contracts.​

  • Operation: Most organisations would love a fully integrated process from sales order receipt, transportation, and delivery planning, through to warehouse picking. It is possible with a Digital Thread that ties together all the parts of the business, its people and its assets that make this happen.​

  • Maintenance: People need their assets to be in good working order, for their safety and for productivity. The future of maintenance is to be proactive before an issue arises that creates asset downtime that ruins productivity. We can now develop maintenance strategies for one-time, run to fail, condition based, and use machine learning and AI to predict when an asset needs to be maintained.

/ PLANET

HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT A SUSTAINABLE WORLD FOR ITS CONSUMERS
  • Any organisation as an exemplar and enabler for sustainability needs to be thinking about:​

  • Using advanced data and analytics techniques to assist your employees to make sustainable choices in their business travel.​

  • Ensuring sustainable supply chains. Get complete visibility into the practices of your suppliers and understand in detail how their practices contribute to your ESG goals. Make better and more informed decisions about who you partner with by understanding who they are, who they employ, and what they stand for.​

  • Building a robust workplace gender equality strategy. Leverage the power of HR to understand your social goals and make sure there is intelligence in your hiring, development, promotion, and retention efforts to deliver on your strategy.​

  • Organisational agility through tapping into employees' 'whole selves'. Fill your employees' cup with a purpose-driven culture. Intelligently align your employees' personal and developmental goals with your CSR goals and activities through digital employee experience techniques. ​

  • Reimagining customer experience with sustainability built into the buying decisions right from product design to manufacture packaging to delivery.

Johann Hari
Joining us in person from London

Award Winning Journalist, Writer, Storyteller
 

Our inability to focus is keeping us from living great lives and succeeding at work. We are all pulled by too many forces—phones, social media, the internet. So what do we do? Johann has real solutions. What we’ll get in return is the workplace of the future. We’ll be able to connect with other members of our team, come up with great new ideas for projects, and see our long-term goals through to the end.


Johann’s approach is warm, passionate, and truly committed to change. He lays out what he discovered during the epic process of writing Stolen Focus, including grappling with his own inability to focus and what it cost him. He combines stories from his own life with what he learned from different people from around the world, including a favela in Rio where attention spans completely vanished to a New Zealand office that solved their focus crisis in a surprising way. The Washington Post calls Johann’s work a “call to arms” to all of us who are worried about what will happen if we spend all of our time on our phones and stop being able to connect to the real world around us..
