High touch

I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

Years ago in his book Megatrends John Naisbitt’s best chapter was about High Tech, High Touch. He preseciently forecast a world where there’d be high technology and a compensating enthusiasm for quilting clubs.

Well, Lloyd’s Social Media Cafe is majorly high touch. I’ve been the past two weeks and loved it. I had a great chat upstairs with Lee Thomas and that’s my idea of a business meeting these days.

I suppose I half-expected such a cafe to be full of people starting at laptops and not talking to each other. Au contraire, it struck me as very untechy and human, with lashings of good coffee and toast and jam.

Friday mornings at the Coach and Horses in London. Recommended.
