Synopsis:
The Challenge: How can one decision reduce overheads, improve staff productivity and quality of working life, and deliver better solutions to your clients?
The Solution: Set a date for when the office goes "virtual" and stick to it. Ensure all staff become home and/or client based. Ensure state of the art connectivity systems are in place to support the change.
The Results: "Well, we have certainly saved some money as we don't pay office rent
any more. Some other costs have gone up such as IT and communications. Everyone's delighted at not having to commute and we make more effort to
keep in touch with each other. We haven't finished our journey yet, but we
are all convinced we are going in the right direction".
