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.
