Why Towards a Smart Campus.

In a fast and furiously evolving technology driven world, all players, individual and organizational, will find themselves among the least or less skilled. Re-skilling accompanied by a large measure of  de-skilling is important. One cannot be frozen in the past for individuals and organizations. If they do, there could be a Nokia moment. The competition will leave you behind. Samsung and Apple overtake you.
