It is more possible than ever to influence and shape our working
environments, our experience of work and each other. Business
leaders who set the conditions and create engaging, meaningful work
through organisational design and use of the knowledge and creative
potential of their workforces are engaging in smart working. In
Smart Working: Creating the Next Wave, Anne Marie McEwan explains
how smart working is more than just flexible and mobile working. It
is about flexibility and autonomy - how people work, not just where
and when. She argues that systems, working environments and
governance are more likely to lead to effective performance if they
maximise self-determination and choice. She describes how
collaborative communication technologies create possibilities for
stimulating and harnessing collective intelligence, within and
beyond organisational boundaries. In short, smart working is an
outcome of designing organisational systems that are good both for
business and people. McEwan warns that the tendency to talk about
new management paradigms risks overlooking insights derived from
years of academic research, and particularly from lessons learned
from process innovation methodology. This rigorously researched but
intensely practical book examines current workplace trends relating
to people, technology, place and space. It reviews what we already
know about effective management and high performance work methods
and shows how those insights can be used to advantage in
contemporary workscapes. It will help those with responsibilities
for the strategic direction of their organizations. Learning and
development and HR professionals will understand how to interpret
these insights for their own business.
