Presentation by Steve Coster, HASSELL to the WorkPlace Trends Conference 2013 in London
Based on 10 years in workplace strategy and design in the Australian market, from within the context of international firms DEGW and HASSELL, Steve will observe factors that caused the leap forward in innovative, user-focused workplaces in Australia. Themes include cultural, economic and technical issues, as well as breakthrough leadership provided by a lineage of key projects and a network of key influencers and innovators. He will also reflect on where Australian workplaces are heading next.

_A history of actively seeking new, better approaches
_Attitude of pursuing “the right thing to do”:
_“If you need definitive proof, you’ve missed the point”
