an 
diversion
– Todd Barr, Alfresco
Death By PowerPoint, Resurrection By Tablet is a manifesto for a new, more substantial workplace. Stop meeting after the meeting.
Death By PowerPoint, Resurrection By Tablet is a book for all of us – the unsatisfied. We are grabbing all the tablets we can find and (re)defining work on the fly, and on the go. We are rejecting the status quo. We are changing corporate culture from the bottom up, by finally doing things our way.
Do you remember when you fell in love with your job for the first time? This book is about rekindling those flames.
It explores what otherwise exists only on a back channel -- texts, tweets, and doodles. Late night conversations and getting lost on purpose. Subversion for the sake of progress. We’ve all built our shortcuts and passed down coping mechanisms as heirlooms, and inheritance. And all along, we steadfastly circumvent net and intranet alike, for fear of being left behind... or, worse, irrelevant.
This book is about the people fighting the battles in the trenches. The people that aren't in the suits (although suits are welcome, too). People that really run the show.
To you and to each other, we at Alfresco say thank you. Let’s usher in a culture of work that actually... works
We care deeply about ensuring fertile ground for collaboration and creativity. Companies don’t win by sitting through a never-ending string of top-down presentations given by a select few. This is about the future of work and the future of innovation.
At Alfresco, we make money by selling software and services. But who are we selling to? We care about this issue because we only succeed if you succeed. We’re not interested in making money by siphoning off, and locking in, and self-preserving.
Alfresco is helping people do substantial work with a new generation of web software and mobile apps that have…breathing room, and emotion, and innate intelligence. While the #OccupyMeeting movement empowers businesspeople everywhere to create real change, Alfresco provides some of the tools to finally do it right.
We aren't the central characters in this story. You are. Or you can be. Office revolutionaries are using and creating all kinds of tools to unlock the potential energy of tablets. So join the conversation - follow us on Twitter, #occupymeeting.
Don’t settle for disengaged meetings or unsatisfying presentations. Start occupying your own meetings. Grab a tablet, download some or all the apps we handpicked below for their ability to get people off of the sidelines and into the game, brainstorm or annual summit. Start sharing ideas and prototyping out your ideas in the meeting, not after.
See for yourself how meetings can become collaborative and start redefining how you and your team work.
