Location independent working. Remote working. Mobile
working.....
It goes by many names, but the principle
is similar: the new information and communication technologies
(ICT) enables work to be undertaken from from places which
previously were thought to be not practicable.
In this section of Flexibility we're
building up a selection of case studies showing flexible
location work in action.
Telework at Nortel Networks
We present a case study - both corporate and personal - of
teleworking at a company that has some 12, 000 teleworkers. It's
kind of comforting when people who want to get the rest of us to
be more flexible do it themselves, and on such a grand scale.
Kind of like architects who live in houses they've built, or
physicians who heal themselves, perhaps.
Case studies in "sustainable
telework"
How sustainable is telework? We report on the first findings of
a European project that is measuring the economic, environmental
and social benefits of telework. Includes particular focus on BT
(British telecom) and BAA (British Airports Authority) at

telework Network may have the answer.
These ones are ageing a bit now, but
are nonetheless instructive:
