Transforming the Workplace at SCAN Health
by Jim Ware
<this is a cross-post from the Future of Work blog>
On April 2 Charlie Grantham, Diane Coles, and I delivered a presentation at the IFMA Industries Forum held in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Our major focus was on the economics of distributed work. We spoke first about the fundamental changes going on in the economy (familiar to anyone who visits here often, or is alive and breathing these days).
(The full presentation is posted online within this post; you can view it below the fold.)
Then Diane described the changes she has led at SCAN Health Plan over the past three years – changes that have moved about 150 people into part-time work at home environments and are now leading to a complete redesign of SCAN’s corporate headquarters facilities.
It’s an incredibly exciting and impressive story – and it’s getting better by the day. Take a look at our slides to see the results Diane has produced already.

You’ll also see that we finished up the presentation with another of our future-oriented pitches for a new kind of workplace – a local, shared, drop-in facility that can reduce the costs of workforce support dramatically for employers, to say nothing of reducing commuting expenses for individuals.
That’s a theme we just won’t let die. And we’ll be repeating some of this presentation, including the SCAN case study and our arguments about the value of a whole new kind of workplace, at the Corenet Global Summit in Dallas next Monday, April 27. If you’re there, be sure to come by and say hello.
