Knowledge work is becoming increasingly collaborative as we tackle more projects in groups, working side by side with colleagues. But what if your job requires collaboration with people you rarely, if ever, meet?

Like other companies, Accenture wanted to address the empty office issue, but they wanted to do more. The workplace, they reasoned, should exemplify the high performance the company is known for, and actually help people attain higher levels of performance.
