Kathy Redmond
Steelcase

Two major forces affecting design today are culture and technology. In this
session, participants will explore the characteristics of each generation
and the effect on both the
emotional health of individuals and the organizational welfare of those who
share one work environment.
The presenter will discuss the latest trends as they relate to speed,
display and visual characteristics in our environment and how these elements
affect the broad range of generations in today’s workforce.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the convergence
phenomenon and how to use this information to leverage the design of space
to promote positive relationships
among the generations.
