The whole point of mobile tech...
I first posted this on my own blog for the business community. I think with a little imagination, you can see how this would translate to the admin side of the church. More specifically, if you are a pastor with a mobile device, I challenge you to write your next sermon out of the office and see if the final product is any different...
The whole point of mobile tech is to do what is normally done in an office setting. It is to me, the ability to work while enjoying some other aspect of life not found in an office. This can be something as obvious as working on vacation or a little more unconventional like setting up your mobile office in a park. So many people's paradigm of what work and an office is has not evolved to match the current state of where we are in tech and it's possiblities.
If by it's very nature, the office environment stifles creative problem solving and production, isn't it more productive for the individual who needs the freedom to have that freedom and meet the task at hand?The fact is, what is productive for some is stifling for others. These days, it is not enough to offer the same products and services as your competitors but rather to do so in a way that uniquely solves that customer's problem. And, if your staff is so focused on all the things that are wrong with your office, it doesn't make for productive problem solving or focusing on your customer's needs. Being in the same office surroundings tends to make us dwell on those things. This is also compounded by constant interuptions of daily office routine.
So what am I really trying to say? It is time to break out of whatever is holding your business back and embrace what is possible. After all, if we were able to have our work take place in whatever setting we desire AND be more profitable, I'm sure it would have been embraced 100 years ago.If your square peg employee doesn't fit inside of your round hole office setting, maybe it is time to explore a mobile office.
Something to think about.
