Session 1: Work, It’s What You Do – Not Where You Do It

We will look at “what is an open and flexible work environment” and discuss the elements needed to build and support it through technology investment, policy implementation and infrastructure changes.   What are these barriers to an open and flexible work environment and how are agencies leveraging these building blocks to establish a productive, mobile and collaborative workplace?  Experts will bring their experience and share real life scenarios around what’s worked and what hasn’t.    Join us in a discussion as we examine how to setup, establish and maintain an open work environment.
