FROM THE EDITOR

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships." Michael Jordan

 
Busy, overwhelmed, fatigue, stressed, losing focus, and many other negative associations are part of our daily dialogue, today, with the globalization trends and the high level of competition we tend to  focus our energy on accomplishments and possessions, forgetting about the importance of human interaction, and the sense of belonging.

Yet it is scientifically proven that People who work in friendly, welcoming work environments are more productive and better able to cope with day-to-day stressors.

YES, social interaction is the key to any successful work environment.

Building communities that share the same values, dreams, and goals creates a reliable bridge to faster development, major innovation and typically higher profits.

Smart Organizations are working on creating the sense of “WE” and strengthening the importance of “Team Work”, “Networks” and “Communities”, believing that through such interaction, better results are achieved by happier and more loyal teams.

Smart Village Cairo, works on enhancing the sense of belonging, and loyalty through community building efforts among the elite business society present in the park. We believe that; it’s through gatherings and networking, new synergies, business ventures, and smart ideas are created.

Buzz Word

Back Of the Napkin Business Model

A slang term that refers to the representation of the basic components of a business model excluding any fine details.
 
It incorporates only the core ideas and success factors of the business. The name comes from the notion that a quick outline of a business can be easily sketched on the back of a napkin to sufficiently demonstrate its fundamental concepts.
