"Smartworking for me is about taking control of your work – taking responsibility – it's about being more effective not for the sake of your organisation but for yourself. There is a theme appearing out of all this knowledge economy stuff that for the first time in years workers own the ‘means of production’ – we no longer have to rely on big employers to earn a living we can freelance, set-up our own business or just go a and work for someone else – someone who treats us better, lets us have more say in what work we do (or don’t do) and maybe even pays more too! Smartworking is aimed primarily at individuals rather organisations since it is they who own the means of production.”
