The Role of Telework in
Shaping the Organization
Does telework drive organizational change, or is it
a consequence? Efforts to mainstream telework may be
more successful when telework is viewed as a strategic
tool to drive organizational change. Jennifer
Verive of White Rabbit Virtual and Michelle
Heelan of Telecommuting Advantage Group will
look at data from the private and public sectors, and
Maria Litman of the
National Wildlife Federation will provide a case study
in this session aimed at stimulating discussion on the
interaction between telework and organizational design. |

Keynote Presentation:
"Microsoft's Workplace
Advantage Program: Bold Plans for the Workplace and Space
Utilization" - Anyone who is at all familiar
with Microsoft Corp. knows about its Redmond, Washington
corporate campus. The company has grown by leaps and bounds
in both size and complexity in the last two decades, and
with that its facilities have expanded and expanded, and
expanded. Last year the companies decided to call a "time
out" and take a very disciplined, broad look at its
workplace for Redmond as well as the rest of the world.
Melissa Morgan, Program Manager Workplace Advantage, Microsoft
Corporation has been directing this massive undertaking
- a comprehensive program that will include everything
from overall site planning and branding, to decisions
about the best ways to deploy telework, hoteling and new
global guidelines. It's rare that we have an opportunity
to get the inside look at a project of this scope, and
you won't want to miss her informative and
provocative presentation.
