In Episode 26 of the Blue Door Podcast, as part of our future of work series, we look beyond the discussions already happening around desk based working, and focus instead on what's being done to adopt the same mindset and thinking to help accelerate field based workers using technologies that will support efficiencies, productivity and improvements in health and safety.
We are joined by Ant Morse, Head of Digital Solutions at O2 Business, who discusses the emerging technologies that allow businesses to rethink what their field based workers do and how they do it – as well as the operational efficiencies that will result.
