This episode of Fuller Speed Ahead is part of the FreightWaves 3PL Summit and focuses on workplace efficiency no matter where that work is done.

CHAT TOPIC: Efficiency at work matters no matter where work is done

DETAILS: A Fuller Speed Ahead discussion on how to make email a competitive advantage in business no matter where that business is conducted 

SPEAKER: LB Harvey, chief revenue and success officer, Front

“What we hear a lot from our logistics companies is that it can just be really easy to get caught in the flood of email. You have to go searching back through a deluge of emails to find the salient points.”

“It’s hard to move and shake like we like to in tech without those in-person connections, especially for startups. I think for early-stage to moderate, even late-stage startups, I predict that hybrid will be the way forward.”

“I’m all for emerging hubs. But I don’t think that San Francisco or Silicon Valley are going away,  or going anywhere.”
