The Creative Group recently conducted a survey of 400 American marketing and advertising executives and 1,000 workers, age 18 and over, on workplace creativity. Findings show that managers and employees disagree on the best office layout to encourage innovative ideas.
When executives were asked which type of office layout they believe is ideal to bolster creativity and innovation, 36 per cent chose an open-concept space for multiple people. However, 26 per cent of lower-level employees in the same field agree this layout can improve creativity.
