The following
three articles report on different aspects of an innovative research
project sponsored by Knoll in 2006-2007 and led by Camille Venezia.
The project used value network analysis to understand roles and
relationships as a unique lens for understanding the needs of mobile
workers. This fresh perspective exploded a number of popular “myths”
about mobile workers and provided insights into how companies can
best support them with technology, facilities and furniture systems.
