Phil Simon
In this show Bob and Pat talk with Phil Simon, author of “The New Small.” Cloud computing, SaaS, free and open source software, mobility, and social media are rewriting the rules for small companies.
Phil takes us through how the combination of these five technologies is redefining what a small company can and needs to do regardless of industry to succeed.
Starting a company? The second half of the book consists of 11 case studies of companies using some or all of these technologies – just what you need to do the same.
It’s not just the old story of small companies jumping on the latest IT toy; these five enablers are changing small companies fundamentally.
Tired of being stuck in neutral in your startup? Why not do a MicroConsult with Bob Walsh? Instead of hypotheticals and too much information, Bob will work with you for an hour via Skype developing 8 to 10 specific todos that will get your startup in gear. Details at 47hats.com.
