Create workspace that supports business strategies<br> <br> Space is an organization's second most valuable asset. Yet little attention is paid to how it supports the new ways in which today's organizations operate---teamwork, flattened hierarchies, telecommuting, collaborating across functions. Workplace by Design shows CEOs and managers alike how to put aside and rethink conventional, awkward notions of space utilization based on hierarchy and status--notions that pit people against each other in turf wars, tear apart teams, and tie up company cash. Using illustrative examples from Digital Equipment Corporation, Steelcase, and others, the authors show how team environments, non-territorial offices and other strategies can support business objectives, energize employees, and produce a more competitive organization.

Industry Reviews

"Workplace by Design provides executive leadership with thenecessary expert advice and technical guidance to deliver andmanage the new workplaces in a way that matches exceptional costsavings with extraordinary organizational effectiveness."--Michael A. Bell, director, Corporate Real Estate, The Dun& Bradstreet Corporation

"This book picks up where Handy's The Age of Unreason leavesoff. It poses a case for a leader to contemplate his or her companyas an 'ecosystem' and to reframe issues of the employee environmentas akey strategic function and not a tactical after thought."--Laurie Coots, director of Business Development,Chiat/Day

??A very readable and practical book?Offers a number ofinteresting perspectives on organisational consulting?? (TheOccupational Psychologist, December 2002)
