Here is the latest in our series of Instor Data Infrastructure Throwdowns: DISRUPTING THE WORKFORCE.  Remote work. Satellite operations. Global interconnectivity. Everything Zoomed. Do we have the bandwidth and capacity? Will the data infrastructure be able to sustain and expand during this tectonic shift in the workforce? How should we be planning for our technology in this uncertain future? Then there is this. Will a global pandemic and the turbulence of world affairs disrupt the workforce on a permanent basis? Are we experiencing merely a momentary adjustment or will office space and team collaboration be forever changed? The big question is...should we go back to centralized offices? Or have we merely unleashed a better way for enhanced productivity and efficiency? Want to know who the big winners will be in this massive disruption of the workforce? Then join us in the Octagon for the next in our series of Instor Data Infrastructure Throwdowns. Featuring: Dr. Julie M. Albright Digital Socialist & Author Randy Borron Vice Chairman Of Cushman & Wakefield And as always, your referees are Jack Vonich and Nabeel Mahmood of Instor. We'll see you in the Octagon!
