Are you harnessing the power of technology for your organisation? (Epic TED Talk Video)

 

Only a few days ago, technological enthusiast Don Tapscott opened up the latest round of TED talks in Edinburgh. There he presented a fascinating take on how technology can shape the future, drawing analogies from both the corporate and natural world.

We live in uncertain economic times, yet Tapscott paints an optimistic picture about how technology can help us thrive in the current climate. Here at MailGuard, as a technological innovator, we see daily evidence of how the internet has democratised computing power for businesses of every size each.

It is clear that companies that try to keep everything in-house, inside four walls, run the risk of being left behind. Rather than focusing on core capabilities, they risk becoming mediocre at a range of things or get bogged down in activities that limit or fail to drive growth.

Which way you decide to go is up to you...
