Time to change old habits
“We have only this generation to get sustainability right. We all need to work together as never before to get there.”
James P. Leape - Director General, WWF International
Conferencing providers have been extolling the virtues of audio and video conferencing for many years as the answer to global warming and other environmental issues. But until people fully integrate these technologies into their everyday working practices, the ‘utopia’ of significantly reduced business travel will not become a reality.
Arkadin is focused on integrating collaboration technology into your existing habits, to facilitate and enhance normal working practices. When these solutions become a core part of the business day, rather than just another complex technology to be avoided, true change can be made.
We like to make sure every single user is reaping the maximum possible benefit from our services and will happily go out of our way to make that happen. That means helping you establish a conferencing culture within your organisation with a thorough adoption programme, full training and support and hands-on account management.
When am I ready to change?
We concede that change is hard for anyone, but we need to change and adapt ourselves. Sociologists showed that there are 3 different ways of adaptation:
- We can adapt being forced (wars, natural disasters ...)
- We can adapt thanks to regulations, usually slow (State, government, institutions ...)
- Finally we can adapt naturally
This last point is interesting and need to be developed. Indeed this last way of changing implies 3 rules:
- We need to find personal benefits, to fell what we are doing makes things better
- We need to be part of a movement, to imitate people, to be followed. It has to be part of a social impulse
- We need to meet simpler and cheaper interests
What can I do from now?
Start educating your colleagues by offering them Arkadin remote collaboration solutions. Besides, in order to facilitate this adoption, Arkadin created the Climate Care Day. This event has been designed to inform and teach people how to reduce business travel and face-to-face meeting can eventually increase their productivity and efficiency.
Join Arkadin and Climate Care Day right now to change your way of collaborating and increase your use of remote collaboration tools.
