In June, 2002, Frank Gehry, Lucy Suchman, Karl Weick and 60 other designers, managers and scholars gathered in Mr. Gehry's recently completed Peter B. Lewis Building to consider how the art of design can inform the practice of management.
Information environments are becoming both pervasive and nomadic. A manager’s or a knowledge worker’s use of computing and communication services is less limited to solitary moments at an office desk; it is extending to all aspects of organizational life. Much of the work is mediated through embedded computing devices that are part of the physical environment or move around with the workers. Consequently, the experience of managing and organizing in the future will involve multifaceted engagements with an “intelligent” computing environment through a rich array of access methods including desk-top devices, mobile communicators, digital assistants, wrist-watches, play-consoles, and clothing.
This workshop is October 15-17, 2004 for invited participants. The goal of the workshop is to discuss challenges related to digital transformation in one of the most critical industries-Architecture, Engineering and Construction enabled by new collaborative technologies and 3D capabilities. The workshop is also a part of our research initiative to explore the innovation and transformation triggered and enabled by digital technologies in AEC industry.
We are the host of the next IFIP 8.2 workshop. It will be held August 1-3, 2005 in Cleveland, Ohio at the Peter B. Lewis Building.
