“There are 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created each day at our
current pace, but that pace is only accelerating with the growth of
the Internet of Things (IoT). Over the last two years alone,
90% of the data in the world was generated.”
Bernard Marr, a futurist and a strategic business and technology advisor “How Much Data Do We
Create Every Day? The Mind-Blowing Stats Everyone Should Read” (Forbes)

Workplaces are changing to appeal to today’s
employees looking for more engaging roles
Climate change means global organisations have to
consider adapting conventional approach to business
Workspaces need to embrace digital AND physical
environments that transform the meeting process

Most meetings have a single presenter and a
disengaged audience
71% of surveyed senior managers say their meetings
are unproductive and inefficient

Businesses now and in the future need solutions
that transform the meeting process

Whilst video conferencing technologies have
developed, it is still experienced as one-way traffic
…which does not inherently create an
environment conducive to problem-solving
What makes meetings so ineffective?
Technological Innovations Group
a single source of content leaves out critical
information…
…which prevents work from getting done
and decisions from being made
