LIKE 78: Exploring the digital workplace. Wednesday 21st February 6:15pm
The 'digital workplace' is a term and concept which has grown in popularity over the last two to three years. It is now being used by consultancies, vendors and by some intranet and IT teams. What is it and what does the 'digital workplace' look like in 2018?
In this session, Steve Bynghall will cover:
- what the digital workplace is (and whether it's actually really a new concept or not)
- how intranets are adapting to become the gateway to the wider digital ecosystem
- how some workplace technologies are becoming commoditised
- the current obsession with digital assistants, bots, artificial intelligence and natural language processing, and what organisations are doing in this space
- developments around microservices, APIs and data which underpin the digital workplace
- the potential implications for information services of all of the above.

With evidence of manipulated elections and referenda based on the dissemination of fake news, there is increasing scepticism about the reliability of news sources, both printed and web-based. Which ones do you trust and how do you decide what is fake or truth?
