Image: When humans write, they leave subtle signatures that hint at the prose’s fleshy, brainy origins. Their word and phrase choices are more varied than those selected by machines that write. Human writers also draw from short- and long-term memories that recall a range of lived experiences and inform personal writing styles. And unlike machines, people are susceptible to inserting minor typos, such as a misplaced comma or a misspelled word.

This may sound like a title to a change management book, but in this context, I would like to use it in context of collaboration technologies. Simplifying your collaboration platform is best done by adopting one that is also a cloud-based platform, specifically, cloud calling. But you don’t have to compromise on less performance and features. In fact, with the ability to manage from the cloud, your organization will gain a full feature set with lower costs overall.

Like many people, I am sceptical that a graduate tax is a good answer to either the funding crisis affecting higher education institutions and students or the political challenges faced by Keir Starmer and others who have spoken of getting rid of tuition fees in England. Promising a big new tax that would, in a few years’ time, come to affect over half of all younger adults seems unlikely to go down all that well on the doorstep as the next election approaches.
