A pioneer in the virtual world, Eddie Obeng set up Pentacle - the Virtual Business School, in 1994. A success in proving the practicality of the 'virtual working' he espouses, Eddie Obeng is also a great author and a lively, energetic speaker, whose unique style means that he is regularly voted the best.Most of Eddie Obeng's work revolves around what he describes as the 'New World' environment. He has taken to heart the structural changes in the global economy and has started from scratch, with creativity, insight and a clean sheet of paper, to research issues and invent solutions to the range of pressures and challenges that the New World poses to organisations and especially businesses.
Pentacle - created 6 years ago as the first of its kind - launched a series of virtual internet-based business clubs to support innovative individuals and corporate pioneers of the 'New World' business approach. The clubs are aimed at change agents and project leaders. Further Pentacle business cyber-clubs are in the making, thereby securing Pentacle's position as Europe's largest virtual educator. Obeng describes them as a classroom, meeting place, bookshop, library, coffee shop, comedy store and a time stealer all in one.
Eddie Obeng works on understanding how best to manage and deliver successful business strategies in the high-paced, non-linear, highly competitive world, where almost all industry barriers are blurred; how to allow people to work together to their fullest potential and happiness through teams, virtual and real, and through appropriate organisational structures, and how to harness and use information and knowledge through technology to achieve business success.
