Guest speakers in the U.K. are in style again, thanks to technology. A decade ago we primarily used couriers to exchange bigger volumes of knowledge; now we can press the send button and seconds later the job is done. The internet can be used to transmit files upon files of information in the blink of an eye. Electronic pie charts saturate meeting room screens. It is handy, but creates a huge need - the interpersonal factor. Knowledge overkill amplifies the need for guest speakers. Employees crave interaction with real humans. Invited guest speakers are the perfect way out of the dilemma.
