NewWOW welcomes several new members in the network: Nokia, Applied Materials, Cisco Systems, RTKL and Stanford University.
-
Nokia is headquartered in Espoo, Finland, and has over 112,000 employees worldwide. Best-known for manufacturing mobile devices, the company is active in an number of research areas including a collaboration, smart space, and virtual office research.
Applied Materials creates and commercializes the nanomanufacturing technology that helps produce virtually every semiconductor chip and flat panel displays in the world.
Cisco is currently developing a new workplace strategy for its engineering group that is “a radically different environment in which new ways of working are supported by a completely new system of work spaces.”
RTKL has had a long-standing practice of bringing together whatever expertise was needed for a project, no matter where in the world that expertise was located. As RTKL’s worldwide practice grows, RTKL is developing new ways of ensuring that expertise is available on projects whenever and however it is needed.
Stanford University's challenge is that they are outgrowing the Palo Alto, California campus and some of the business offices are going to have to move from the campus. Yet they want to preserve the sense of connectedness and identity with the campus. Eric Richert has been providing consultation on the transition.
