A member of the Workplace Evolutionaries Leadership Committee within the organization, Andrea Sarate, Director of Workplace Strategy, Knoll, will lead an educational session at IFMA’s Facility Fusion Conference and Exposition. Her session “Agile Working: Embracing the Evolution of a Changing Workplace” will examine the ways in which the terms “agile working”, “free address” and “hoteling” are used interchangeably, causing confusion in workplace planning. She will define and clarify the role of each program as workplace strategies. In addition, the session will review appropriate workplace planning elements and tactics to reduce future risk and negative facility impacts.
