What is required to meet this challenge is more than an adaptable work environment and user-controlled applications, but a workplace that is constantly transforming, adjusting and responding to enhanced organizational learning and shifts in the requirements of customer experience- expectations and swings in the volatile marketplace. This radical departure from the concept of predetermined standardized and stationary envelope of work to a workplace services and settings that are extensions and active components of the work process will impact corporation; The Business of Facility and Design of the Built Environments.
