Meetworx - a new way to Build Your Professional Network Whilst on the Move - Consumer Electronics Net

Company News: Page (1) of 1 - 06/12/12June 12, 2012 --

LONDON, June 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

67% of business travellers surveyed said they welcomed the opportunity to network with new people in their free time, but only 2% of those questioned actually do. Meetworx aims to address this gap via a simple mobile app that allows business travellers to make contact with other professionals nearby to make the most of precious free time & build valuable new contacts.

Social business networking mobile app, Meetworx, today released the findings of their recent survey into business travel habits. The survey found that whilst over two thirds of those questioned welcomed the opportunity to meet and network with new people in their spare time; only a fraction of those questioned actually did.

Commenting on the findings, Meetworx founder Stuart Reed said "There is clearly a desire for professionals to grow their network whilst away on business, but there are few solutions that facilitate this in an efficient way. We believe Meetworx is the ideally placed to bridge this gap, as it provides a very simple mobile app allowing professionals to quickly find and connect with others whilst away on business."

Addressing a need

Meetworx is a proximity aware mobile app available on Android devices. It responds to a growing trend of modern business travellers that can find themselves with free time in a new city without any friends or associates nearby. Many business travellers are likely to find themselves in a similar situation without the mechanism to easily meet others; losing the opportunity to make new professional contacts and to eliminate the boredom that can often be associated with free-time on business travel.

Using location based technology; Meetworx allows the users to discover other Meetworx users in their immediate area. Using the clever "slider" bar; users can define their search area anywhere from 0 to 12km to find others in their vicinity. Additionally, users can choose when they appear online to others and mobile phone numbers are not shared nor displayed - leaving the user in complete control of the information they choose to share with others at all times.

Speaking about the growing trend, Stuart said "How many times have you been away on business sitting alone in the hotel bar, looking round at countless others that are also sitting alone and thinking it seems crazy we are not talking? You could be missing out on some really great professional connections or simply a good conversation over a drink in your free time. Meetworx makes it easy to make that initial contact - the smartphone app allows you to identify other users in the area and to make contact via IM."

Talking about the user experience of Meetworx, Stuart further commented "Adding a status update along with industry focus, specialism and even a photo via the personal profile allows others to find you quickly; and for you to swiftly identify business networking contacts that are most relevant. Using the in-app IM functionality makes it easy to make contact - helping you build your professional network and finding potential business opportunities."

Boosting productivity at work

The Meetworx survey into business travel habits also found that almost 80% of those questioned said they may be more productive at work if they have been able to interact with others in their spare time, suggesting that there could be gains for both employer and employee through networking whilst away on business.

Broad business appeal

Meetworx is a highly flexible business networking tool; it's great for business travellers to find people to network with when away on business; or to make the most of down-time at conferences; or for headhunters & recruiters to discover a rich pool of talent whilst at trade shows & exhibitions.

Free to download & easy to use

Available as a free app on Google Play, Meetworx is easy to install and use in 5 simple steps:

1) Activate Meetworx App
2) Go away on business
3) Locate other Meetworx users locally

UNICON Study: Mobile Learning Offers Growing Opportunities for Executive Education Programs Around the Globe - Consumer Electronics Net

Company News: Page (1) of 1 - 01/12/12January 12, 2012 -- Minneapolis, Minnesota (PRWEB) January 12, 2012

New research from UNICON (International University Consortium for Executive Education) reveals that many business schools across the globe have untapped opportunities to provide innovative executive education learning programs facilitated by mobile technology. The UNICON report, Going mobile in executive education, is based on research conducted by UNICON member Ashridge Business School in the United Kingdom. It analyzes the potential impact of mobile technologies on the executive education learning landscape around the world. The report looks at mobile learning, and how portable technologies -- smartphones , PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), handheld computers and personal media players -- can support and extend the reach of teaching and learning.

The report finds that some learning providers are embracing mobile learning and developing new approaches to learning. Included in the report are detailed case studies of: Abilene Christian University (USA), The Open University (UK), Ashridge Business School (UK), Harvard Business School (USA), Seton Hill University (USA), IMD (Switzerland), EPIC, (UK), and Skill Pill, University of Cape Town (South Africa).

While the research highlights examples of innovative applications of mobile learning in business schools, universities and the private sector around the globe, it concludes that many more executive education providers today could be maximizing the vast potential of mobile devices for learning.

The future of executive education is about choice and personalisation. Our survey makes clear that providers should not wait for the industry to settle, said UNICON Chairman Bill Shedden, who also serves as Director of the Centre for Customised Executive Education at the Cranfield School of Management in Bedford, England. Our recent State of the Industry survey also found that while many executive education providers are moving cautiously, they have begun experimenting with technology and in many cases are taking more technology initiative than clients expect or demand. In other words, executive education clients look to university-based providers to help them understand what new technology is important.

The global nature of businesses and the growing capabilities of powerful mobile devices mean that adopting new technologies in learning is essential to continuing to attract clients in the competitive executive education market, Shedden continued. UNICON is dedicated to helping its members learn more about how to effectively adopt new technologies and to remain industry leaders in university-based executive education programs around the globe.

Mobile technology can help provide executives with pre- and post-course support, and the latest mobile learning applications can extend their access to a multimedia-rich education. It also provides a means for participants to stay connected with one another as professional resources after a program ends. Other benefits of mobile learning identified by the report include:
    Just enough learning highly applied, easily digestible learning for busy executives.    Just-in-time learning convenient, flexible and relevant learning at the exact moment learning is required.     Just-for-me learning learning can be accessed via mobile devices in many different ways, which means that there are opportunities for it to appeal to many different learning styles.    Mobile devices can facilitate collaboration. SMS texting reminders, knowledge sharing forums and ask a question forums enable and enhance interaction between participants and instructors.

Research Fellow at Ashridge Business School and UNICON report co-author Dr Carina Paine Schofield noted, Advances in mobile technologies and high levels of mobile phone penetration are changing the way that learning is being adopted and used in educational contexts, and it has evolved into more than e-learning with a phone. Mobile learning offers easier access to learning materials so students can be more productive with their time. It empowers executive education providers to serve up learning in multiple formats audio, visual or text to suit individual learning styles.

Ashridge Business School was one of the first executive education providers to establish an online learning resource. Its online learning platform, Virtual Ashridge, lets students home in on certain interests and choose a style of learning that fits their personality without information overload: some may want to listen to an audio file or read text, while others may want to take part in an online discussion.

Director of Learning Services at Ashridge Business School Tony Sheehan said: Mobile learning offers a powerful opportunity to introduce learning on demand. It allows individuals to connect to executive education at a time that suits them and in a way that can support current business challenges. Learners are no longer dependent on the classroom, as mobile devices allow learners to connect in times of reflection a long train journey, a daily commute where the mind is alert and open to new insights.

During these times of austerity, mobile and e-learning tutorials also provide a cost- and time-efficient way of educating staff that avoids the travel and accommodation costs of off-site courses, Sheehan added.

About UNICON
Founded in 1972 as an association of executive education program directors, UNICON has evolved from an informal common-interest group into an incorporated non-profit consortium committed to advancing the field of university- and business school-sponsored executive education. Membership is composed of nearly 100 educational institutions from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa.

UNICON is committed to the principle that academically based executive education provides a combination of thought-leadership at the highest levels of rigor, masterful learning environments and practical application that cannot be replicated by non-academic providers.

The organization sponsors and conducts research studies that bring to the forefront this unique value of business-school-based executive education. It also provides industry/operational knowledge and networking opportunities for members through conferences, workshops, research, benchmarking, website, newsletters, job postings, discussion boards and forums and other activities.

The UNICON report, Going mobile in executive education: how mobile technologies are changing the executive learning landscape, was written by Dr. Carina Paine Schofield, Trudi West and Emily Taylor of Ashridge Business School.
