This document summarizes discussions from a workshop on Activity Based Working (ABW) and the role of facilities management. In the workshop, participants discussed what successful ABW looks like, challenges to achieving it, and the role of facilities management. They also explored how a new way of working could contribute to HR, CFO, and IT departments. The document outlines how ABW impacts aspects of building utilization, base building, maintenance, hospitality, training, and storage. It prompts choosing an impacted aspect to explore further and how facilities management can support aspirations of trust, empowerment, innovation, and collaboration through how that aspect is organized.
