Our 2010 series focused again on the workplace, its meaning and paradoxes, and more significant than ever in today’s mobile world of work:

  • in the context of culture, to understand our culture impacts workplace and influence people behaviour

  • around brand, to explore how the presence of brand in workplace could enable or affect people behaviour
  • how knowledge workers can become more productive by innovating their work and work environment
