Accommodating future business intelligence: new work‐space and work‐time challenges for management and design

Abstract

This paper presents a synoptic account of the emerging knowledge‐based forms of intelligent working and the new approaches to the management of space and time, so that groups, teams and individuals can work independently of location, time and place. The challenge for facility management and facility design is to provide fast response agile systems and short duration business space and infrastructure to provide high quality work‐space and work‐time settings to support the knowledge‐based businesses of the future.
