The Internet of Things

Written by Haze Carver on .

What is the Internet of Things?

The internet we all use today is designed for people to share information. As well as people sharing information over the internet, physical devices and objects (things) can share information too.

Objects with embedded sensors can exchange data and allow actions to happen. For example, you can ask Alexa or Siri for the weather forecast, watch your delivery rider’s progress on a map, or turn on your lights or your heating with your phone. That’s using the Internet of Things (IoT).

How does it work?

Devices and objects with built in sensors capture small packets of data about their status or information from their surroundings. The data is encrypted and securely sent to IoT gateways and then transmitted across the internet to display data and create actionable content on dashboards and mobile apps.

How does it help Norfolk?

What if we use the Internet of Things at a city or county level to create smart places? So road junctions can tell you if they are congested, rubbish bins can say when they need to be emptied, rivers can say when the water level is getting close to flooding, parking spaces can say whether they are empty or occupied. The thinking is that all this extra information will allow cities, towns and rural communities to run smoothly, making them better places to live and work and allow the more remote areas of our county to become better connected.

It also creates an opportunity for new businesses in the region to develop in this emerging sector.

We’re already trying out new ways to improve our services. Read about how the internet of things is already working in Norfolk.

Chadwicks Masterclass – Retirement Foundations

Written by Paul Vincent on .

Life can be seen as punctuated by a series of Next Acts – we go to school, we go to university, we get a job, we settle down… Some of these acts almost write themselves, others are the result of months, sometimes years, of deliberation. This is especially true of our Next Act at retirement.

This session will look at the financial aspects of retirement but also consider the wider implications of moving to a life after work.

Chamber Webinar – Top Tips for Growing A Business That Cost Nothing!

Written by Haze Carver on .

There are three core strategies at the heart of what every business should be doing – however, most will only do one at best and ignore the rest. And typically, the only one they tackle is generating new leads – the hardest and most expensive strategy of the three!

The bigger the company, often the worse they are here. And that allows smaller companies to exploit and punch above their weight.

This webinar will explain the three core strategies that together make an enormous difference – every single time. No ifs or buts, they work. They are simple too – that doesn’t make them easy to implement but doable.

Underpinning the core are eight guiding principles which we call Business Boosters – aptly named because they boost sales! And are free to put in place.

We will explore and explain all eight of our Business Boosters.

At the end of the webinar, you will understand the core principles behind the Business Growth Club, which was established to help our local business community here in Norfolk. And you will have a track to run on which works.

First Intuition – How to transition to Hybrid Working

Written by Haze Carver on .

How to transition to hybrid working is a hot topic for many businesses as staff start to return to the office. Remote working and its flexibility is something many want to continue in their post-COVID workplace. A Personnel Today survey found that pre-pandemic, 45% of workers were happy to work five days a week in the office, now its is only 5%. This shift in worker mentality needs to be considered by businesses to effectively implement a form of hybrid working that benefits from the positives of in-office working and working from home.

Guest speakers:

Laragh Jeanroy who has been involved in planning the pilot of the first hybrid office of RSM UK

Katie Allen leadership consultant and coach

Will Farnell of the innovative digital firm Farnell Clarke Limited

Richard DeNetto of CBI (Confederation of British Industry) who recently published a comprehensive report on hybrid working

Barnaby Clark of COEL who has led innovations in workspace planning

Rob Alder of the AAT who are looking at their steps back into their office in central London

First Intuition hosts:

Lucy Parr and David Malthouse.
