FOREWORD
Much of our case study material comes from The Future Work Forum at Henley—a research initiative set up within Henley Management College in 1992 bringing together senior and prominent people across the whole area of Future Work. These pioneering companies and individuals include several major banks, national institutions, suppliers of communications infrastructure and leading IT suppliers, local and central government agencies and advisers, as well as leading academics and others with a special interest in the subject area. We have conducted original research into aspects of Future Work, we have provided the research methodology for OffNet (an EU Telework project), and we have given evidence to government. We were delighted to receive recognition of our efforts:"We live in fast-changing times and informing ourselves and being brave enough to grasp the technology is perhaps the greatest barrier. In this connection, the Henley Management College is doing excellent work in bringing about something called the Future Work Forum. This is being actively supported by big players in industry and telecommunications itself, including British Telecom and Mercury."— LORD LIVERPOOL
House of Lords debate on Flexible Work, January IO, 1994
The results from our Focus Groups, Conferences, Syndicate Sessions—as well as informal discussions with people both in and around the Future Work Forum at Henley—have had a significant influence on our beliefs. They have been a key motivator and source of material for this book. We also bring to bear many years of first-hand practical personal professional and managerial experience working within, commentating on, monitoring and analyzing the development of organizations of all sizes, both private and public, and across many industries. Of course we have to say that responsibility for the views expressed here rests entirely with the authors, just in case the future does not unravel itself exactly as we foresee!David Birchall
