"Is creative collaboration critical to your company's success? Is your workforce in constant motion? Is going green a priority for your company? Is your facility set up to attract top talent? Real Estate and Facilities Managers who answer "yes" to questions like these know that dramatic changes are reshaping where and how people work. Even while keeping their enterprises running smoothly, day in and day out, Facilities Managers must propose strategic actions to support a tech-savvy, collaborative workforce and to improve the return on fixed assets.

Dukes and Traweek share their past experiences and their future vision. They draw on their Texas heritage and set forth eight 'Cowboy Codes' to help guide the unsung heroes who make the workplace work."--Jacket.
