Returning without going back to the old ways
After the summer break, we return feeling more rested and, hopefully, ready to do some things differently.
Jurij Triller asks why we continue to hold on to processes that cost us time and money. Through the story of guests from hell and Jeff Bezos, Boštjan Belčič shows how important it is to choose our clients consciously. Finally, we return to the human perspective and ask whether technology serves us or merely demands even more of our attention.
Three perspectives, one thought: perhaps the real question this autumn is not how to do more, but how to work smarter, more simply and with greater purpose.
Finally, be sure to watch our best and most authentic video yet, presented by the team behind SmartGifty.
