It's interesting coming at this from an employee point of view, too, as many of us would like to work in an ROWE environment but due to the relative infancy of the project there are few firms out there who have embraced the concept. Job hunting can be a draining process, but if more companies were set up like the ROWE examples like Best Buy then I doubt that would be the case. A company that treats employees like individuals and grown-ups is something all job-seekers would want, meaning the employer would see a higher calibre of applicants to their firm, along with the proven workplace benefits of the ROWE system. Win-win. If only there were more employers who believed in it. A fascinating concept and article, this one.

To see others, you can download the ROWE Business Case at www.culturerx.com. There's good stuff in there - you can also download a "How ROWE Are You?" quiz. Look in the Free Downloads section on the right side of the home page. As for the sizable company question, we've actually been working with a major retailer on the West Coast that just finished their ROWE pilot with phenomenal success. They will be named soon - stay tuned! Hi Colin – the book contains a lot of information about the Best Buy case study.

Maybe it's not as easy to game, if the results measurement has been designed correctly. Just as people have figured out how to game the old system, I wonder if some have figured out how to game ROWE?

Did she specifically come from reading about ROWE, or did it happen organically? How does she go about measuring results? Customer satisfaction surveys?
