Modern day realities such as globalization and worldwide competition are driving the need for quantum leaps in productivity and efficiency that leverage operating expenses and maximize return on investment. These leaps in productivity and efficiency need to be paired with top line growth that is fuelled by delivering differentiated and innovative products and services that are sustainable over time. Business tactics that drive costs down such as off-shoring, models that embrace more strategic partnering and organizations that reflect modern day working and lifestyle realities such as remote working are adding distance to the workplace. Distance hinders people meeting together easily and effectively to discuss, make decisions or agree action plans. Furthermore, business information is now readily available in companies and a strategic competitive tool if used to make collaborative decisions quickly at all levels within an organization.
