World Changers: Exploring the future of work

Digital dark age. Plugging the information black hole


Listen Later

When almost everything is in the cloud, and the amount of data we’re storing is reaching hundreds of zettabytes each year and growing, what happens when the servers crash?


Crisis aside, what happens when our cloud storage becomes

full? How do we organise information and make sure that institutional knowledge isn’t lost and that our people have what they need to work collaboratively?

 

In the latest episode of the World Changers podcast, Elle

Bradley-Cox explores this topic with head of creative consultancy and veteran scarlettabbotter, Craig Bentley, who – with 17 years of service under his belt – is basically a walking server.


We also asked colleagues from creative, digital and project management for their biggest filing bugbears and got some handy tips to help you never lose a document again.
