The event was a success and Dr Walter's presentation about the recession and how businesses should react in such a difficult environment, is still to this day one of the most successful ones (2000+ visits in just 5 working days). We tried to capture the spirit of this presentation in a short video which sums up Dr Walter's impressions, which is available from Orange Business TV and also hereafter. 

We have also created a poll in order to let you express your feelings about this recession and how it is impacting your business (see survey below) .

He has been online since 1996-1997 working with the mobile industry and he has been a blogger since ... 2003! That is to say one year before O'Reilly coined the phrase Web 2.0 at a famous conference. What I find most fascinating in Rob's story though is not just that, but how he can use his passion and extra-curricular activities to fuel his day to day job. Most impressive stuff. Rob's articles on the Orange Business Live blog can be found by clicking this link.

When we started building our new page about outsourcing (aka )Large Projects at Orange Business Services we then decided to add a new section about the "people behind large project". It appeared to us that it would be rather interesting to get our people who actually get things done in the field to explain what large projects was about and what we were delivering and how and seeing the people that our clients actually meet in person when they decide to embark on a deal. Most of the people I interviewed in this series are guys whom I worked with in the field, responding to rfp's etc. One of our first videos to be posted on the http://orange-business.tv webtv site is that of Rob Hodgkinson - Head of practices and training - who explains what Large Projects is about. A section is also devoted to this on the website at that URL.
