1.40pm	The Risk of Entrenched Behaviours: The Skew of Green Initiatives from Operational Use to Continuous Investment
	Ben Johnson BskyB	Stuart Bowman hurleypalmerflatt
	Steve Holford BskyB
	Occupiers have the greatest obligation to effectively manage their carbon overhead. However it can be that opportunities in day to day operations are missed, and instead the focus is on capital investment. Corporate and owner occupiers often invest heavily in "green" projects and activities based on potential energy and operational cost savings. Is reality though that once in operation there is less motivation for building users to operate and integrate all facilities in line with this green design intent? Is the original intent all "CSR lip-service". How do corporate occupiers best manage green investment and any risk of missed energy opportunities? What are the "risks" corporate occupiers should most focus on? Should we remain focussed on doing the right thing for ourselves and our customers? The session will aim to explain why Sky are engaged in our own plan, what we are doing; the motivations; achievements; lessons learnt and greatest challenges have been and what the 3 key takeaways are that the audience will leave with.

	Experimenting with New Working Practices Patrick Elliott Instant Offices There has been a long term trend for people to experiment with working in different ways on Fridays - from 'dress down Fridays', to 'working from home' to 'working' on the golf course. Some of these experiments have been more successful than others, and the result of this and the ease with which we can now all work remotely is that a number of office operators are establishing co-working and work sharing areas and clubs. Many of them are promoting the benefits of flexibility but also the possibility of networking with the other people working there. Examples of this include: The Hub in Islington Club Workspace - run by Workspace Group The Club - The Office Group Co-Work Question - many operators have invested a lot of time and money in to these ventures, is this a viable proposition, will businesses want their staff to work in this way and do the benefits really stack up?
