Business Reimagined: Why work isn't working and what you can do about it Paperback – June 7, 2013
Purchase options and add-ons
Are you happy with the way you work? Are you engaged, energised in the office? Or do you sometimes feel that your days are dominated by process and technology?
Reimagining business is about waking up to a new environment, based on collaborative and flexible working, on technology that, used correctly, liberates rather than constrains. The future of work must be based on being open, on focusing on results, not process and on empowerment, not hierarchy.
Dave Coplin, Chief Envisioning Officer at Microsoft UK, has been immersed in the technologies that are making waves in the workplace. This is his call to reimagine business.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Contains plenty of practical assistance alongside the hopes for a better future” ―Roger Trapp, Forbes
“Dave Coplin's little book is big on ideas. Take time out for a bit of advice from a self-confessed geek on stepping back, rethinking how you work and trying to look forward to a future of working smarter, not harder.” ―Aline Keuroghlian, head of marketing, Mr & Mrs Smith
“One of Marketing Magazine's "best books to find in your Christmas stocking: 5 not-to-be-missed business reads for marketers"” ―
“For me, this was something of a revelation. 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 thatâ??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

About the author

Dave Coplin is an established thought leader on the role of technology in our personal and professional lives. He has worked across a wide range of industries and customers, providing strategic advice and guidance around the intersection of a modern society and technology both inside and outside of the world of work. Dave is passionate about turning the base metal of technology into valuable assets that affect the way we live work and play and in so doing, move the focus from the technology itself to the outcome it enables.
His first book: “Business Reimagined”, provided a view of a new working environment based on collaborative and flexible working. His latest book, “The Rise of the Humans” provides a further call to action, for both individuals and organisations to harness not hate the digital deluge, to rise up and take back control of the potential that technology offers our society.

It's time that we look at whether we really want to be working in the way we're working, that's the main idea in this book. And yet it's going to be hard, very hard, just to start thinking about how or why we should do this. That's where this book starts, looking at how the traditional workplace has evolved and how a handful of organisations and individuals are beginning to challenge it and find better ways of working (and by "better" I mean ways to make their business more successful and their people happier).
The book is indeed a manifesto, looking at the barriers and opportunities that technology has created to make a more flexible working life. Of course, technology is not enough and what we really need to be looking at is shifting our mindset.
The book is quite short - the Kindle version is free and the paperback is relatively cheap. Go on, have a look. See what you think.
Dave Coplin seems to argue that these changes are both inevitable and a panacea. I'm not sure that either is the case and I don't think he presents strong enough arguments to demonstrate it. But his argument is powerful and well worth reading if you're responsible for managing teams. It's fair to say -- indeed the author says it himself -- that not every idea will work for your organisation. But the book does open your mind to the idea that the way we're working is no longer fit for purpose and that there are clear ways to improve it.
Whilst much of what Dave says is just common sense and it is stuff we have all witnessed day to day at work but it is stuff we have failed to see the significance or joined the dots which he clearly has. The work smarter not harder cliché is something we all quote but we seldom do because none of wants to rail against technology in which we trust so completely.
I know for a fact that after reading Dave's book I will be reimagining how I use technology and do business as opposed to simply going on in the same way as I have since the 80's.
