Opening keynote presentation from AITD (Australian Institute of Training & Development) National Conference 2015.

Office re-designs • Activity-based working • Flexible ways of working • Rise of the freelancers • Creating new learning landscapes One team decides to run a brainstorming session in a dedicated conference room, dialing in team members who work away from the office. Another team prefers to socialise and discuss ideas in one of the informal workspaces - all their notes are easily transferred across the company’s intranet and different devices. Katie sets an innovation challenge to make the company more sustainable and shares it on the companies enterprise social network. Everyone – in the office, branches and remote workers - can access the innovation ideas from anywhere, on any device, and vote for the concepts they would like to see implemented. The best idea is presented at the monthly innovation meeting, for further prioritisation and feedback. With the help of the enterprise social network, Katie can allocate tasks and track its impact on the company. All the ideas are gathered on the enterprise social network and also displayed on interactive digital walls found in different workspaces across the office.
