			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am now setting new sails, having decided to end my contract as managing director of World Television Sweden.</p>
<p>I have analysed the market and restructured the company in order to meet the increasing demand for webcasts, live videos on the internet.</p>
<p>In this new organisation we have developed cost-efficient production methods and created a smaller, more focused team organised in a similar way to the other European World Television companies. World Television Sweden is now well positioned to grow with the market and has upcoming international partnerships with a lot of promise for the future.</p>
<p>In the light of these changes my role as managing director and business developer is no longer needed to the same extent and I have therefore decided to rationalize away myself.</p>
<p><strong>Now what?</strong><br />
I now return full time to my consultancy company Alfa Bravo, with a mission to help companies improve their products and services.</p>
<p>In my role as business developer I focus on creating new revenue models and being a catalyst for development projects.</p>
<p>For example the whole media sector is now challenged to find digital business models for the rapidly expanding online media world. Other business sectors are facing a growing need for rapid product development.</p>
<p>I also coach companies on how to use the many new forms of digital communication.</p>
<p>I have always been a business networker, so I welcome other professionals to contact me for cooperation.</p>

<p><a title="Internetframsyn" href="http://www.iva.se/internetframsyn" target="_blank">Internetframsyn</a>, &#8220;internet foresight&#8221; is a project organized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, (Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademin, IVA in Swedish).<br />
The theme is &#8220;<strong>How can Sweden become a leading internet nation by the year 2015</strong>?&#8221;</p>
<p>I have participated in the User panel since August 2007, focusing on how internet can be used to improve life for citizens and employers.</p>
<p><strong>See my </strong><a title="Arbetslivet 2015" href="http://alfabravo.com/articles-visions/arbetslivet-i-sverige-ar-2015/" target="_blank"><strong>report text about work life in the year 2015</strong></a> (in Swedish)<br />
The full report can be downloaded on the <a title="Internetframsyn" href="http://www.iva.se/internetframsyn" target="_blank">Internetframsyn</a> project web site.</p>
<h3><em>Executive summary of my thoughts on how worklife should be in the year 2015:</em></h3>
<p><strong>Our work life in 2015 is based on flexibility and continuous learning</strong>. You have different work schemes depending on if you are young without children, have small children, are single,  have teenagers or if your children have grown up and moved away. Full retirement is no longer mandatory and many more people are self-employed and have multiple careers at the same time.</p>
<p>There are two new keys that enables this work life flexibility in the year 2015: &#8220;<strong>Time shift</strong>&#8220; and &#8220;<strong>Location shift</strong>&#8220;</p>
<p>A modernisation of our work culture using new internet-based technology and new standards enables us to work to a larger extent independent from regulated work hours (Time shift) and traditional places of work, like an office (Location shift). We move from trying to balance work and life to integrating our work into our life. The focus of the work culture moves from worked time and presence at the work place to the productivity and social abilities of the individual.</p>
<p>Time shift and Location shift requires development of improved internet based tools and social media technologies in order to increase the flexibility in many types of work. The goal is to develop new methods that enables a much richer and more personal communication that is independent of time and place, thereby increasing our productivity and decreasing personal stress and environmental pressure.</p>
