Why workplace strategy?

Most organisational leaders now recognise that decisions about their workplace - its location, size, design and technology - cannot be answered without an agreed workplace strategy. 

A good strategy will identify clear business objectives for your project and establish a vision for how it will enable your people.

Using facilitation, data, interviews and inspiration, we'll set you up for clarity around whether to move, where to move, your quantum of space, your design vision, and most of all the human change journey to get there.

Simplifying innovative workplace strategies into clear, understandable choices and outcomes

Touchline

Touchline is our exclusive human-centred design tool that delves into how contextual factors, such as interior design, technology and ways of working, influence human experiences. 

We feel the impact of situational elements daily, whether feeling creative in a café, motivated at the gym, or slightly intimidated in our manager's office. Touchline maps these influences, enabling us to incorporate them into a strategy for thoughtful workplace design.

Direction setting

Direction setting is the first phase of a project, where we gain clarity on fundamental questions. How much space is required? What approach to flexibility should be adopted? Which organisational or cultural objectives must be met, and how? 

Our direction setting process gathers the answers to establish principles that align every step with a clear vision. Tailored to each client, our approach may encompass leadership facilitation, usage studies, ethnographic research, staff engagement techniques and other tools in our arsenal.

Change Partnering Amicus

Change Partnering

When change is imminent, individual perceptions and narratives begin to take shape, as everyone interprets the situation differently. We help shape these narratives in two distinct ways. Firstly, we provide practical tools such as templates and techniques to establish a robust communication plan, ensuring everyone stays informed, reassured and engaged. Secondly, drawing on our expertise in change management, we specialise in driving cultural change initiatives.

By strategically incorporating how people work, feel, think and interact, we facilitate seamless transitions, leading to impactful organisational transformations.

Workspace Evolution

Too often, there is a natural decline that occurs between moves or refits, where space, technology and people factors often deteriorate. We can offer a structured approach to consistently improve the space, technology and experience of workplace culture.

By assembling a cross-disciplinary team, we initiate an upward spiral of evolution, ensuring the workspace remains dynamic and aligned with employee needs.
