Creating the spaces for smart working

London, 6 October 2010

This is a practical seminar for those in public and private sector organisations tasked with improving performance through new ways of working and creating the 21st century spaces for people to work in .

Effective and efficient work environments

Today there is more pressure than ever to make the most effective and efficient use of resources. Providing offices is typically the second largest cost for employers after staff costs - yet in traditional offices they are usually greatly underoccupied.

New and more mobile ways of working mean that not only can we reduce the amount of office space, but also there are opportunities for new styles of office provision. Flexible working demands more flexible workspace.

In this seminar we will will be looking at examples from both the private and public sector of innovative workplace design, how it integrates with new styles of working, the business benefits, and how employers can plan for and make the most of other work settings beyond the corporate office.

A practical approach

This high profile seminar is organised by Flexibility.co.uk, Europe's leading online journal for new ways of working. It takes a highly practical approach, showcasing examples of different approaches from organisations and providing leading edge ideas and practice.

Sessions include:

• Case study of the flexible working environment at Vodafone UK
• Case study of Customer Service Direct, a joint venture partnership between Suffolk County Council, Mid Suffolk District Council and BT
• How to plan for the space you need for smart working
• The 'Office Beyond the Office' - examining the role of local workhubs and homeworking for distributed working
• Managing flexible people in flexible spaces

Further details will be posted soon.
