NEW WAYS OF WORKING

The business world is all about getting together - whether that's at meetings, seminars, conferences, presentations - or simply going to work in the morning.

But in the brave new world of telecommunications, we don't always have to meet up - or even go to the office - in person.

We can telework from home, video-conference when we want to meet up, or we can use a simple webcam when face-to-face is better than using the phone or email. There may be grants available to help you do this - speak to a Big Wheel Business Club adviser - Matthew Price if you're in the City of Nottingham on 0115 915 5141, or call 0115 9774658 for advice if your organisation is in the County.

Of course, there are wider issues at stake here. Some say that we are at the dawn of a new industrial revolution - one based on the internet. If that is the case, it will profoundly affect the way we all do business in the future. This, combined with rising congestion and global warming, may well mean many more virtual transactions of every kind in the future.

There is a local organisation that will help you find out more and keep you in touch with a fast-changing agenda. You will get updates, invitations to conferences - and you could be eligible for e-business training courses that could help you re-think the way you work.
