Foresight – Video Star

“The experience has to be like TV or people get annoyed and it stops being fun.”

Maurice van Sabben explains how collaborative technology is helping National Geographic act green and increase productivity.

Seen to be green

• National Geographic has introduced video conferencing, based on LifeSize high definition technology – a system that has helped reduce travel, while keeping in-tune with the organisation’s desire to promote conservation.
• “Video conferencing makes it easier to have interaction between remote teams,” says Maurice
• The organisation also closes its 2,000-strong Washington head office every other Friday, allowing employees to work from home. The approach allows the firm to cut power demands and put new priorities on the work/life balance.
