Espi'al Consulting, the New Economy Consulting Company, today has launched "The New Economy" TV show on Summit TV, the business focused DSTV channel. The first show was broadcast on Monday the 3rd April 2000 at 20h45.
Rudi Kr"uger, chairman of Espi'al Consulting and South Africa`s "Thought Leader" on the New Economy said, "The business models driving the New Economy are so different to those of the Old Economy that we deemed it necessary to create a platform from where we can help the viewer define, investigate and discover the driving principles and characteristics of the New Economy"
Paula Sartini, Executive Director of Espi'al Consulting will co-present the show providing expert analysis, interpretation and commentary.
The show will, over the next 52 weeks, discuss two topics each week such as "Free Pricing" and "Disintermediation of Industries" which we are witnessing in the music, publishing, travel and stock broking industries, to mention a few.
Anchoring the TV program, Espi'al Consulting will also on the same date launch a web portal - myNEWeconomy.com that will aggregate and consolidate global opinion and research on the New Economy. This one-stop portal will provide the visitor with comprehensive cover on the New Economy as it unfolds globally.
"myNEWeconomy.com will further provide the `New Economy Worker` the information he/she will need to leverage the exponential power of the New Economy," says Kr"uger.
The portal will aggregate New Economy news and articles from leading international and local magazines, newspapers, on-line news services and international research centres such as: Fast Company, The Industry Standard, Red Herring, TheStreet.co.uk, Reuters as well as local sources including Financial Mail, Business Day, Intelligence Magazine, JSE, Investor Centre and ITWeb.
myNEWeconomy is the only portal aimed at the B2NEW (Business to New Economy Worker) category, and also the first in the world to be supported by a dedicated TV programme.
Logical, the Datatec owned E-services Company, are the anchor sponsors for both the TV programme and the Portal. Mr Karl Campbell Managing Director of Logical South Africa said "With this sponsorship we are giving notice to the market of our intent to consolidate our position globally as the leading New Economy E-services company. Together with our strategic partners and armed with best-of- breed technology, Logical is perfectly positioned to help "Old Economy" companies unlock their inherent "New Economy" potential, equally so for brand new Internet ventures or spin-outs leveraging "New Economy" business models".
