Re-Inventing an Historic Icon: TD Centre's 21st-Century Makeover
Sir Winston Churchill once said, "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us." Therein lies an everlasting challenge for corporate real estate professionals: to ensure buildings and build-outs evolve along with ever-changing business needs. TD Centre, the bank's Toronto-based headquarters campus erected in 1962, is a case in point. By 2009, workplace improvements had hit a brick wall and physical barriers literally prevented the breakdown of business-unit silos and hindered enterprise-level decision making. Reinventing TD Centre required a multi-discipline, multi-faceted approach that combined leasing, portfolio and workplace strategy and environmental sustainability and required partnering among corporate tenant, landlord and service providers. This best-practices case study also illustrates how TD Bank's CRE team was able to put these major capital programs in place at the same time the economy tumbled. By all measures, financial and other, the makeover has been a success.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
After attending this session, participants will be able to:
• Apply lessons learned in this study on sustainability, reinvention of space, and corporate responsibility.
• Discuss strategies for surviving economic fluctuation.
• Effectively engage and work with strategic partners.
• Apply techniques to improve business alignment.

What's Now? What's Next? Today's Technology Test Tube Foreshadows Future Workplace
A 4 year-old will pick-up an iPhone for the first time and, within minutes, will have begun an essential familiarity and comfort with the device. A sixty year-old however may approach with a mixture of fear, trepidation and a general view that the world has become too complicated. As the adoption rate of technologies continues to accelerate, so the gulf widens between those who are tech savvy and those who are not. The difference is not just one of comfort, but impacts our very ability to connect in meaningful terms, to find things, and to share ideas. Join us to explore this subject, as students from Georgia Tech share their perspective on technology, how we can build a world where the technology leaders and laggards can co-exist in productive comfort, and what impact this might have on the workplace.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
After attending this session, participants will be able to:
• Discuss how successive generations think differently about technology in their workplace setting
• Analyze how these different levels of adoption can successfully co-exist in the workplace today
• Articulate how technology implementation will change over the next three years, and how these changes will impact the way we work.
