design   Hierarchical   Space, technology, and services

were silos   Focus on place   Cost focus   No attention to Green

more effectively used   More exciting, creative space that

fosters teamwork & innovatio (NO SILOS)

  Less hierarchy   Integrated solutions of space,

technology, and services

  Focus on work   Cost focus – with benchmarking   Go Green

In 2007 New Direction
