Registrations are open for our HR Networking Event on Wednesday March 21st 2018.
If you knew that a decision you were making for your business could constrain its future potential, would you do it? Surprisingly business leaders make these decisions unknowingly every day. This decision impacts your two most expensive business assets; property & people.
When business leaders define their corporate strategy, often the last people that they would think to consult about its execution would be their workplace designers, and fair call. Traditionally the role of the designer has been to put this many little boxes into the big box, however there is a new style of design philosophy evolving, one that takes a far more holistic approach to creating a workplace that embodies your organisations strategic plan and infuses every element of the physical environment with it. Creating a space that influences and guides the specific behaviours needed to execute that vision.
The design of our environment presents us with an enormous opportunity to influence the behaviour that occurs within it. Strategic change can lead to cultural change, requiring a new set of values and behaviours… Organisational change is far more likely to succeed when partnered with changes in our physical environments.
