    The Work-Wise UK project has achieved much in terms of lobbying and raising the profile of Smarter-Working. It has perhaps, to date, achieved rather less on the ground, although we understand it is trying to establish regional initiatives. Sadly it has not so far responded to suggestions that alignment with MATISSE (see below) might help accelerate the initiative.

    Meantime, businesses in Hampshire and the South East has gained experience of Smarter-Working through the MATISSE initiative (Mobile And Teleworking Initiative for a Smarter South East. Last years pilot study outcomes (report and toolkit can be downloaded) and the current programme activities are described in outline on the website http://www.ehampshire.org/matisse.
