A few months ago the bso engaged the trend experts of the "Trendbüro" Hamburg (Germany) to create an analysis about the future of office work. Within the process they analyzed the development of communication, collaboration and the prospective function of offices. The results were presented at the Trendforum of the ORGATEC 2012.
