Topic: "New Marketing in the New Normal"

"The modern workplace is evolving – everything from the physical layout, management practices and the tech-driven tools that are now indispensible to keeping your workforce happy and most importantly, productive."

Jason Fried is the founder of a web design company 37 Signals. While his main product is software, he is perhaps just as well known for his perspective on the optimal workplace. He’s been very vocal about the inefficiencies of the typical workplace (like it’s designed to allow for distractions) and has quite a few commonsense ways to fix it. However, those ideas were originally intended for small and medium businesses – what would he suggest to enterprise level businesses?

Marco Chiappetta

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
