Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

As enterprises better understand the interrelationship between roles, collaboration, content, and business processes, the need to provide information within the context of an information worker's daily activities will drive the implementation of Information Workplaces. When Forrester surveyed 117 North American professionals about the Information Workplace (IW), 60% said that providing content within the context of the business process is extremely important. The respondents also wanted contextual collaboration, just-in-time eLearning, and embedded learning. By moving to contextualized Information Workplaces, workers will receive information seamlessly, and they no longer have to mentally and manually integrate disparate tools into their work environments.
