“It is now obvious to those working in the fastest growing segments of the economy that work at the

beginning of the 21st Century, is radically different.

Today’s successful businesses are highly decentralised and rely on continuous innovation and employee

involvement and knowledge at all levels.

In high performance workplaces individuals have to do a lot more critical thinking – analysing problems,

proposing solutions, troubleshooting, communicating with others an managing their own time. Workers are

rewarded for being able to adapt rapidly without waiting for external direction”…………….
