In this episode we dive into how COVID is revolutionizing the way that people and teams collaborate, and why that has come to the forefront of the Tech industry. We unpack the recent acquisition of Slack by Salesforce, and what this means for the future of this Silicon Valley based 'team collaboration' platform that had its genesis in the gaming industry. This episode examines why Slack were slow to move on adding video as a core feature, given the surge in Zoom with the pandemic, and what Salesforce's vision for the platform may be, to take it to the next level with their stack of resources and enterprise flavour.

Forecasting forward we make some pretty cool predictions about the direction Slackforce may head, and the future of social networks for the workplace, with the right mix of stories, gamification, video integration and ephemeral vibes (a la Linkedin Stories, whatever that is meant to be!)
