Editor's Notes

  • #2 There’s a fundamental shift in the way the economy is organized. Innovation is now more than ever the key to survival.The world of business is changing the way we work…so what’s different?The nature of work is changing, from knowledge work, to the rise of the ideas economy.
  • #11 Priority can fulfill the needs of a totally integrated office environment addressing multiple workplace strategies and environment solutions. Open plan and private Supports classic (conventional) and dynamic work modes for both groups and individuals Offers a full range and broad selection of non-regimented modular workstations Rails allow long spans between legs & ganging of adjacent tables Height adjustable tables with multiple options to adjust including sit to stand
  • #13 Ask the group this question. “Why does and office exist?”Answer: To bring people together for interaction …yet we know that the majority of the time that people spend in an office is actually on their own heads down work.Note: In the past offices existed also for the physical support of workers (paper handling, computer networks, etc.). Today, that is no longer the case. We are in a virtual world and people can work from anywhere. However, people are people and prefer to have face-to-face contact and interaction with each other. This will always be the best interaction situation.
