The London Games are now upon us! Is your business prepared? The London-based project management training company Knowledge Train has developed a cartoon that highlights the importance of planning ahead to ensure that your business is not unduly affected by the disruption and congestion that the Games will cause to the transport system.

It is anticipated that 20 million more journeys than normal will be made by tube alone during the Games. On busy days the number of trips on the London Underground could reach over 6 million—that’s almost double the ordinary total. It is essential that London businesses, especially those in central locations, prepare an Action Plan for dealing with this major, international event. The Transport for London’s website getaheadofthegames.com suggests that businesses should take four specific areas into consideration: staff travel, customers/visitors, business travel, and supplies and deliveries.

You are free to share the Knowledge Train cartoon, or to add it to your website providing you link to the original website (http://www.knowledgetrain.co.uk/).
