The traditional office layout and a “one size fits all” mentality is a thing of the past.
The future of work is evolving – the traditional office layout and work processes is a thing of the past. We understand how influential the right work environment can be to enhance productivity, innovation, and collaboration. Balancing business objectives with staff preferences is a complex endeavor, and creating a successful work strategy that integrates workstreams such as HR and staff experience, operations, technology, compliance, finance, and real estate can be challenging. While there are many resources, articles, and points of view of what the future of the office should look like, very few, if any, focus on how to create the optimal plan that can be operationalized. We work with clients to deliver and operationalize a plan that supports your employees – no matter where they work.
No matter where your organization is in the process, our tiered process achieves everything from visioning and goals, discovery and analysis, creating a playbook, change management, user experience, and space planning and design.

Long lead times in planning and implementation
