The live event - attend in person at No 1 Cornhill London.
At a time when all organisations are striving to be lean and efficient you'd think a move to mobile working in the office would be a 'no brainer' given the potential for cost savings and efficiency improvements.
But there's a sort of 'glue' that stops the change happening. There's behavioural glue, attitudinal glue, technology glue, space glue, cost glue and logistics glue. It sometimes feels like a conspiracy designed to maintain the status quo. Not much to do with space, lots to do with people, power, engagement culture and influence.
Our event is designed to help those very special senior FM, Real Estate, IT and HR leaders keen to transition their organisations from old models of work and workplace to mobile/advanced/agile models on a large scale. Topics to be covered:
- Developing strategies to overcome the different glues.
- Retro-filling mobile working in an existing office.
- A route map, for securing understanding and commitment to changing behaviour at senior business leadership level.
- The role of Change Management in bringing about a successful, sustainable change.
We'll be answering all of these questions through a series of case studies and interactive discussions.
