• Hybrid Work on Wheels

  In this episode of The Intrazone, Chris and Mark sit down with Sascha Fredrich and Markus Etzel from Bechtle to talk about their unique approach to modern collaboration. And when I say unique, I mean Microsoft Teams Rooms inside Volkswagen ID.Buzz EV vans—yes, rolling collaboration hubs (with hub caps); meetings on the move, proving that hybrid work isn't just about where you work, but how fast you can get there ;). And don't miss the grand finale—a special piano performance by Sascha that celebrates the power of community and connection. So buckle up, because this episode is taking collaboration to the fast lane!   Read this episode's corresponding blog post.
