Some thoughts on the future

The Future I’ve been an early adopter I take this for granted I never foresaw the growth in social tools and their enthusiastic adoption But we have only just started The use of these tools and the new ways of working that they enable is transformational!

The Future More home workers More mobile people working, globally, anyplace, anytime More independent workers Social tools provide ideal support for this type of work People will demand access to these tools within their organizations

More home workers

More mobile people working, globally, anyplace, anytime
