ABSTRACT

A senior vice-president at Bell Canada responsible for Bell Sygma, the

billing and accounting arm of Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE), found himself in

conversation with the VP in charge of real estate and building design and

construction. He needed more office space to accommodate the growing

needs of his organization. She replied that workspace design was changing,

that the time was ripe for workplace experimentation, and that maybe rather

than simply leasing new space, he should experiment with what he had.
