      Digital tools are standard in most architecture firms today. However, many only partially leverage the ability to share data and collaborate-the perception being collaboration tools are too complex or inaccessible for non-IT specialists. Demystify the deployment of professional networking solutions for firms of all sizes. Explore how technology can help lead to real team collaboration and increased innovation, engagement, and efficiency in the design workflow.

Learning objectives:

• Construct a framework of current collaboration technologies based on firm size
• Create a plan for implementing new collaboration options
• Assess and begin to implement technology for improved firm sharing and collaboration.
