Changing workstyles and supportive environments

"As corporate organisations adopt more pliable structures and work becomes more knowledge-intensive, office workers will be reduced to three basic types: a few management teams, coordinating the entire organisation, presenting business visions and long-term strategies, professionals with high expertise and skills, performing business projects, and support teams made up of staff with high specific skills, offering various kinds of support including facilities and information. If these new groups of workers carry out their objectives creatively, making full use of information technology, it will inevitably bring with it various changes in workstyle and workspace. The following features explore some of the emerging working environments which support new work styles of professionals."
