Where should I sit? - about succeeding in the mobile and flexible working world
Cappelen Damm, 2003/05 Pocket
The authors shine a spotlight on the mobile and flexible working world. The book describes how to create customer proximity, knowledge sharing and innovation in the new flexible and mobile working world. Changing the way we work requires more than new technology and office space: It starts with thinking in new ways. For change to happen in practice, thoughts must be translated into actions. This book gives you, as a manager or employee, the recipe for what to focus on, and how to succeed in reaping the benefits: better productivity and more motivated employees.
Jan K. has also written the epic sea novel Senterled til Miklagard - a story about a small boat on a big adventure
Senterled to Miklagard is an entertaining story about two friends who seek to find a shorter sea route to the Black Sea than the Vikings' journeys in Østerled.
They travel along coasts, across oceans and on narrow rivers. The boat is small and the waters are uncertain, escalating the challenges. The crew's knowledge, unity and endurance are put to the ultimate test.
Senterled til Miklagard is based on a real journey and is a reminder that great sea adventures can be accomplished with a small boat, for those who dare to follow their dream.
