Hi there, things are manic and amidst the global meltdown and demise of every human being on the planet, I thought I'd get in touch and talk about the world of work before we all become extinct! Seriously, swine flu? What next? Arrrghh! I wanted to tell you about an event we are hosting with the Telegraph Media Group to really shake a stick at the Old World of Work. We all know that social, political, economic and demographic change is transforming global commerce, organisational structures and individual freedoms. As we enter a world that is more fluid, less centralised and less certain about old assumptions and old models, the only way to survive in this rapidly shifting environment is by becoming more collaborative and focused on outputs – survival means being excellent, in other words. There is no middle ground. I love that. I might even say it again! Survival means being excellent. In other words, there is no middle ground!

In the first of a series of events we are challenging the current world of work and collaborate on building the workplace of the 21st century. In other words, goodbye to 20th Century Organisational Design. Has anyone heard of Trampoline Systems? They have the most incredible tool that finally puts the Intranet to its deathbed! Finally! This is powerful stuff, and will be demo'd at the event. But seriously, check out this website to read more. www.trampolinesystems.com 

Bruce will be talking about the 7 factors and biggest challenges facing leaders in the transition to the New World of Work. Always the delightful and insightful presenter that he is, I am looking forward to seeing the audience reaction.  If you have any questions about the 21st Century workplace, please get in touch!
