The value of the social workspace (2015)

Corporate Occupiers have changed towards more agility, connectivity and permeability. They need to become leaner organization,  continually reorganising and adapting to maintain competitive advantage. They go for less hierarchical and are less likely to provide lifelong careers and job security. The differences between sectors are eroding as corporations focus on the war for talent and core work processes are focused on supporting technology-enabled work. Space shall no longer reflects hierarchical organisational structures but instead emphasises the reliance on dispersed talent networks and open source innovation.
