Here is another cool RSA Animate - this one is based on Dave Coplin's Re-Imagining Work talk at The RSA. As a side note, I want to be a Chief Envisioning Officer . . . sounds like a cool gig.

Dave Coplin is Chief Envisioning Officer for Microsoft UK.

Since joining Microsoft in 2005, Dave has worked across a wide range of sectors and customers, providing strategic advice and guidance around the cost effective use of technology in relation to their business needs.

Dave is an established thought leader in the UK having spent a considerable amount of time in the Public Sector providing leadership and guidance around key technology policy issues like Cloud Computing, Open Government, Open Data and the “consumerisation” of IT.

Prior to joining Microsoft, Dave spent 13 years delivering IT strategy and solutions within the Professional Services industry in the UK, Canada and the Netherlands, helping to build the foundations of a global IT infrastructure.

Enjoy.

RSA Animate - Re-Imagining Work

The RSA

Published on Sept 25, 2013

How can we get people more engaged, more productive, and happier at work? Is technology part of the problem -- and could it also be part of the solution?

Dave Coplin, Chief Envisioning Officer at Microsoft, imagines what might be possible if more organisations embraced the full, empowering potential of technology and encouraged a truly open, collaborative and flexible working culture.
