Telenor celebrates 10 years of reinventing the workplace
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Fornebu, June 6, 2012) Initial skepticism was great, but for the last 10 years
Telenor has thrived at Fornebu, a place built around the interplay between
people, technology and the working environment.
Ten years ago, just before Telenor's Fornebu headquarters officially opened,
Norway's largest newspaper VG reported that Telenor's new way of working would
crumble within 12 weeks, according to experts.
Now, 10 years and an additional 130 million customers later, the Telenor Way of
working thrives, not just in Norway, but in all of the company's operations
around the world.
Telenor's Fornebu office was built around the interplay between people,
technology and the work environment. It challenged the traditional ideas of what
a workplace should be, with its open workspaces, paper-free desks, reliance on
technology and integration of inspirational design in the everyday work life.
Telenor's prize-winning corporate headquarters at Fornebu has been visited by
both Norwegian and international companies, such as Hewlett Packard and
Microsoft, looking to be inspired and learn from this unique way of working.
It defines the way we work
"What we started 10 years ago when building Fornebu has today evolved into what
we call the Telenor Way. It is a concept that defines the way we work, not just
here in Norway but in all of our Business Units," said Jon Fredrik Baksaas,
President and CEO, Telenor Group. "We have come a long way in 10 years and we
should all be proud to have been a part of bringing the Telenor Way of working
to the whole of Telenor Group and beyond."
The Telenor Way is how Telenor runs its business. It links the company's
culture, vision and values, Code of Conduct, governance and leadership
expectations. The Telenor Way serves as a guide for employees, allowing freedom
to make decisions but with knowledge of responsibilities and expectations when
working in Telenor.
From Malaysia to Svalbard
"Telenor has achieved a great deal over the past 10 years. We are a global brand
with global awareness. We are bringing mobile communications services to
millions of people, from Malaysia to Svalbard. Our roots are in Norway but our
reach is far, and we will continue to live by the Telenor Way and dedicate
ourselves to bringing the benefits of communications services to even more
people in more places," said Baksaas. "Congratulations to all on 10 wonderful
years at Fornebu!"

absence of executive offices, the Fornebu model incited controversy upon its
introduction but has since inspired collaboration and innovation at Fornebu and
in Telenor's operations around the world. Link: http://telenor.com/about-us/our-
