The US-based analytics company Global Language Monitor awarded London as the capital of fashion for the second consecutive year in 2012 (Vogue news, sept 2012) and London deserved it all for sure. People feel good in expressing themselves, no matter which kind of style they fit in, no matter whether they follow minimal total black or eccentric and colourful trends. London’s peculiarity involves the different shopping areas offered to the fashion world, where customers can find their own personal space and keep always up to date with their favourite trends. From the high street middle market fashion to the haute couture, from the punk that will never die to the new special trends. Fashion changes quickly. “It is important for past styles...

...The Wow Project In the new economy, all work is project work. And you are your projects! Here’s how to make them all go Wow! First appeared: FC24, p.116 BY TOM PETERS I learned about the future of work by living in the projects — the kind of projects you routinely do at a professional-services firm. More years ago than I care to remember, I reported to the offices of McKinsey & Co. in San Francisco for my first day as a professional management consultant. At 9 a.m., I started to work. At 3 p.m. that afternoon, I was on an airplane to Clinton, Iowa to work on a project that involved an investment in a $150 million petrochemical plant, and even if you’d spotted me four letters, I couldn’t have spelled “petrochemical.” But that was life — in the projects. Fast-forward 25 years. All white-collar work is project work. The single salient fact that touches all of our lives is that work is being reinvented. The workplace revolution that transformed the lives of blue-collar workers in the 1970s and 1980s is finally reaching the offices and cubicles of the white-collar workers. For the blue-collar worker, the driving force behind change was factory automation using programmable machine tools. For the office worker, it’s office automation using computer technology: enterprise-resource-planning systems, groupware, intranets, extranets, expert systems, the Web, and e-commerce. After decades of wholesale neglect, companies are finally facing the fact of pathetic white-collar productivity...
