thanks for this gift
I love the SEEM section on page 15:
The objective of SEEM is to achieve a network-centred market environment that is:
• open, allowing any entity to come into and leave without barriers, and ensuring the possibility of
integrated value chains in which companies, organizations and individuals from different Member
States can be linked without experiencing any access or interoperability problems
• network-centric, bringing together available resources and competencies scattered throughout Europe
so as to allow collaborative value creation relationships
• without constraints imposed by IT vendors or any other technological barrier that could hinder
collaboration and relationships between entities
• sustainable, being aware of the limited available resources and the need to combine them in the most
cost-effective way.
Is there a 2-pager summary of what to do next with this knowledge. I will plough through. In fact, as my father's editorial at The Economist were first to coin the word telecommuting, I had to chuckle at the cases on teleworkers
An extract from the networking vision of 20 years ago http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html
For a region's people to succeed in the Telecommuting Age there are four main requirements - satisfied in places as far apart ad Guam and Queensland and Cape Province and California and Penang and Scotland. First , as the prophet John Naisbitt said in 1982, 'the languages needed for the immediate future are computer and English'. Second, the area has to be a nice one in which to live. Third, it is important that all income earners should adapt happily to a 'cafeteria of compensation' schemes. These allow the individual employee to decide what mix (s)he wants of salary, job objectives, career aims, flexitime, job sharing, long or short holidays, fringe benefits or fringe nuisances. Fourth, there needs to be a competitive and quickly changing telecommunications system. The TC age is making understanding of these requirements increasingly transparent among human beings worldwide.
