ESPOO, Finland – In a vile twist of fate, as the bulk of Finland now returns to work, the sun starts shining again. To keep my spirits up, I’ve been looking for anything to lighten the mood here, so, forgive me for tooting our horn a bit more loudly in this post than I usually do. For what it’s worth, I’ll add a video for you as a token of appreciation.
BEIJING, China – Two of us working on Conversations work remotely. We’re based at home, though frequently spend time in Starbucks, other people’s offices, on trains and myriad other places. Now, imagine being able to work like that, but without having to leave your office. That’s what it’s like for employees at the newly opened Nokia China Campus in Beijing. The centerpiece of the 70,000 sq-m campus is dubbed Nokia Main Street and offers employees a whole variety of places to work, from cafes to tea shops, meeting rooms and, rather radically, desks – fancy
that!
LONDON, England – We recently caught up with Giles Pocock, who takes care of Nokia’s relationships with Movies and Music Videos. His job takes him all over the world and given that it’s a truly global role, his working day begins and ends long before and after ours. Here Giles tells us a little more about what he does along with how and when he does it.
LOS ANGELES, USA – Choice is important. Being able to decide which tools you use for your work, rather than having to pick one from a closed selection can make life a lot better, not to mention easier. Good news then that WebMessenger has added support for Nokia handsets. What was previously a closed world (where you could only use a Windows Mobile handset to access Microsoft Office Communications Server) has now been opened up. And that’s a good thing.
SAN FRANCISCO, USA – The days of relying on having an office to stay in touch with colleagues is thankfully, going the way of the dodo. More companies are opening up to flexible working, mobility, and ensuring employees are where they’re most beneficial (hint: it’s usually not behind a desk).
MIAMI, USA – As a technology company, it’s vital for Nokia to always be pursuing next generation tech, not just in the research labs, but right across the company.
