Join Me for a Webinar on Flexible Work - and the IT Implications

March 17, 2008 at 3:24 pm · Filed under Collaboration, Distributed Work, Webinar

Sorry for the short notice, but there’s still time to register for, and attend, the webinar that Charlie Grantham and I are conducting on Wednesday, March 19 (from 11 AM to Noon, Pacific Daylight Time). It’s sponsored by Citrix Online and includes a report on a survey we’ve just completed that sheds new light on the growth in flexible, remote, and mobile work, as well as some of the critical challenges facing organizations in supporting/enabling flexible work.

The webinar is titled “The Future of Work: Preparing for the Next Frontier.” To register, click here. It’s free.

Here’s a brief overview, from the Citrix website:

The office is becoming more of a touchpad than a destination – and businesses need to catch up to the trend.

Join this interactive Webinar to hear about the business case for implementing a flexible work plan, some of the factors contributing to organizational resistance, and tips for getting your business up to speed.

We’ll be joined on the webinar by Gretchen Nemechek, Product Marketing Manager, Citrix Online, and James Hilliard of BNET, who will host and moderate the conversation.

Hope you can join us.
