The Elevator Pitch

For busy executives who want to have more productive business days the Mobile Business Center is a a unique hospitality service that would give them the flexibility to conduct their meetings in a business mobile environment. Unlike other transportations our product provides a real business center facilities.

The Idea

A van, custom converted, to become a moving meeting room. With driver-passenger sound proof privacy partition, Wifi Hotspot, laptop, fax, printer, large LCD screen for presentation, and a driver and a personal assistant to help with drinks and snacks, just like a hotel's Business Center, except it's mobile.

These vans can rented hourly or daily.

I thought of this idea when I was...

Traffic jam seems to be a recurring theme for my source of ideas... :-)

Living and working in Jakarta with the multitude of traffic problems, having 2 or 3 customer meetings accross the city in one day is very lucky day. I also have had occassions also where my meetings have to be cut short due to the attendees have to run and catch their flights ahead of traffic jam or rush hour.

Well Jakarta is not the only place with these problems...
Of crourse real hot shots have all these facilities in their private plane, but otherwise yours could be an alternatieve.
I would be affraid of people trying to bug it, place a microphone in it, in other to get certain knowlegde though.

vanhees,

A valid concern, same concern that can also be applied to existing meeting facilities.

Thanks for your comment.

how do you let those "attendees" go with you (in the mobile office) when they are all caught in a traffic?

I prefer, a rented "corner or bus. mobile space" in a light rail transit, train or something that would pick up all those attendees in the next stations...

This seems quite doable - I'm thinking of a limo or similar where parties carry on working / meeting en route to the airport or wherever.

I wonder what is already on offer in places where it's common for management types to have drivers or to use limos.

Maybe there is already a service like this operating, e.g. in London or New York, Tokyo, somewhere?

I can visualise more easily large companies owning one of these than a rental system, but either way the idea makes sense. Business is conducted on a national or global scale these days and time is of the essence; combine those two facts and your idea makes sense.

Sounds very capital intensive.

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments posted here. I have been away for a while.

saigon: LOL, I can see the irony on your comment. :-) The attendees will be sitting in the front passenger seat, of course. The rented business center will be on the back seat. A van like VW Caravelle, can sit 4 people comfortably with a "round table" arrangement (look at the logo).

jill: I've seen rental cars, rent cars..:-) They don't provide a Business Center type of service (such as wifi hotspot, printing facility, presentation screen, privacy screen). My thinking, we will be competing (cooperating?) with hotels' business centers rather than rental cars.

PhillipH: Yes, possible that big companies already have this as part of their own fleet, but more and more companies are relying on rental rather ownership.

And what's the difference between this and a hi-tech limo? Personally, execs already have the limo & the expense account to pay for it.
