I would describe this author as an accidental guru, and as a business book, it has heaps to offer. --Business Money magazine A refreshing approach to the future of collaboration and how technology should liberate rather than constrain. Coplin's ideas for reforms to the workplace are incredibly appealing, offering to bring the way in which we work in line with the technological advances of the 21st century. --Sam Spencer, IDG Connect Business Reimagined is a book about business and technology thata s worth reading. It's an engaging, compact tome that could inspire business leaders to change the way they do things. Ignore its advice at your peril. --PC Pro A diatribe, polemic, samizdat: a hand-grenade lobbed in the general direction of Work 1.0 --Martin Veitch, IDG Connect If you have ever wished that you could transform your approach to work and your working environment, you will be inspired by Dave Coplin and his vision for #bizreimagined. --Graham Bell, Networked Learning Director, Centre for Customised Executive Development, Cranfield School of Management Adapting how and when we work to meet the needs of a connected, always online society is one of the most important challenges faced by business. In Business Reimagined, Dave Coplin offers a blueprint for working better together. --Matthew Yeomans, Author and Consultant This is a real insight into the changes that are taking place in how and where people are working - and what needs to change in the future. The challenge to work smarter impacts everyone - from some of the world's largest corporates to the ever growing network of small and new businesses. Working is becoming more mobile and more social, thanks to the technology we now have available and the changing nature of what we are doing. Changes are happening in all areas of work: where and when you work, who you sit with, how you choose to collaborate and connect, store and share data. This book gives a fascinating insight into that world. --James Friedenthal, MD Club Workspace
