The changing nature of work(Harold Jarche, Canada)

19th Century – factory Model 20th Century – Clocks & Cubicles

The work environment was relatively simple and best

practices for management and communications were developed

that still inform many of our current work practices.

http://flickr.com/photos/brianhendrix/

The information age emerged and organisations had to deal

with complicated environments. The flood of management books is an example that there was no single best practice, only good

practices.

http://flickr.com/photos/8594424@N07/

Our work environments are becoming complex, blurring the lines between work, home and play. We now have access to

anyone at anytime.
