Dear workplace management professionals,

Over the last fi ve years the rise of innovative technology has allowed organisations to successfully implement new and exciting workplace design concepts.

Industry experts agree that workplace design is about to change even further, as it will have to adapt to the changing way individuals perceive and perform their work.

One of the most adaptable and e� ective workplace strategies is activity based working (ABW). Organisations that have implemented it successfully have demonstrated great results, including:

• Reduced lease costs (given the e� cient use of o� ce space; hence the reduction of required workspace)• Reduced electricity costs• Reduced paper consumption and expenditure• Increased employee satisfaction and retention• Increased appeal for recruiting• Increased interdivisional co-operation

How e� cient is your workspace design?

This conference will provide you with the following learning outcomes:

• Using ABW to reduce cost and maximise the use of o� ce space • Redesigning workspace for increased interdivisional collaboration and productivity• Managing the change - securing senior management buy in and engagement • Selecting, adopting and integrating innovative technology into workplace design• Downstream cost savings and productivity gains from superior project management • Lessons learned - exploring workspace design best practice to avoid costly mistakes

I look forward to seeing you in Sydney.

Yours faithfully,
