THE WORKPLACE HAS changed. People are using new technologies. There's a new focus on collaboration and informal communication. Colleagues are sharing ideas, space, and equipment, and they're looking for flexible work environments. For Steelcase, a world leader in office furnishings, the challenge was to translate these insights into a robust infrastructure of interior architecture, work tools, and technology. The result is Pathways, and MJ Madigan tells the story of the years of research that made Pathways a reality.
