Workplace decision making is led by
multiple factors
Our approach to Workplace Strategy helps you cover them early on
For you to offer a future-ready workplace, an in-depth understanding of the current and desired future states of 4 key aspects is essential:
1. People: Changing personas, motivations and behaviours.
2.Purpose: Vision, direction, leadership alignment, disruption and evolving business ecosystems.
3.Place: Physical office, home, alternative workspaces and our planet.
4.Platforms: Technology, connectivity and physical overlay for experience.
Our approach
We tackle your questions, from “How much space do we need?” to “How can we create an agile organisation that stays ahead of disruption?” Here’s how we do it:
1.C-Suite/Leadership engagement: We work closely with leadership to understand your business deeply.
2.Innovative Data Use: We leverage existing data or cutting-edge tech like IoT and AI for real-time insights.
3.Cross-functional analysis: We connect data points to uncover gaps and align insights with human (detailed personas) and business needs (operational efficiencies).
4.ESG / DEIB: Engagement techniques rooted in a commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB).
5.Actionable insights and solutions: We turn findings into practical design strategies that enhance workplace experiences.

We also provide recommendations on how project processes can be improved in the future. Often our clients request global playbooks or workplace guidelines at this stage
Let’s talk ESG
We believe that a truly impactful Workplace Strategy goes beyond productivity and design—they should be rooted in a commitment to ESG and DEIB.
Approach
Our engagement techniques are designed to integrate these crucial elements into every step of the process, ensuring that the workplaces we shape are sustainable, inclusive and future-ready:
1. Focus point surveys: Gathering insights on employee requirements and experiences within the realms of sustainability and inclusivity and building these into post-covid personas.
2.Engagement sessions: Fostering open dialogue into nuances of ESG and DEIB through interactive workshops with subject matter experts or a cross section of users.
3.Data driven analysis and reporting: Analyse and collate information to create a clear picture of how future workplace needs to align with your ESG and DEIB goals.
