Rolling out Slack to a whole organization is a big project. But for many organizations, it’s not just the size of the endeavor that’s the challenge. Slack represents a whole new way of communicating. It’s centered around topics and projects, NOT around people or modes, and above all it’s searchable, making internal communications more transparent.
First: You're part of the Salesforce Trailblazer Community, so you know the power of collaborating with others to learn, give back, and have fun while growing your skills in the Salesforce ecosystem. Well, Slack has a community too! Jacob is here to tell us all about what makes it unique and how you can tap into it via the Slack Community Forum to connect, ask questions, and share ideas. (And learn about the best reaction emojis too, hopefully! :eyes:)
