In today’s competitive marketplace, creating a culture of innovation has become more important than ever. While most know the importance of innovating, many struggle to proactively plan for it – especially when it comes to office design. While it’s great to encourage employees to collaborate and brainstorm together, workplaces must provide creative brainstorming spaces where they can effectively innovate.
Collaboration zones provide a natural crossroads for coworkers to meet and share ideas. They can be as informal as a large table in the break room or as formal as a walled conference room. Remember to support those spaces with the necessary tools and flexibility employees need to work together. Ask yourself, “Is the space reconfigurable? Do users have choice and control over how and where they work in the space?”
