Bill Pray Burton Group Catalyst Conference preview - Future of Work Track

The economy, younger workers, and mobile devices are combining to remake the workplace. Rather than laboring on their own at a desktop PC, workers are increasingly collaborating on the move: replying to e-mails via their mobile phone, keeping track of associates on sites such as Linked In and Twitter, and otherwise bursting the physical bounds of the enterprise. But this activity-centric way of working has its downsides: free-flowing information is harder to secure, identity becomes problematic, and workers must now get to their information from a wide variety of devices. At Catalyst 2009, well sketch out the value of this move from a workplace-centric mentality to a work-anywhere model, talk about the corresponding risks and difficulties, and make recommendations on what enterprises should do to leverage this change.
