On Tuesday, July 25th, we gathered in Chicago for our most recent Work Design TALK on the important topic of: Learning Styles and Their Impact on Workplace Design.
The connection between learning styles and the impact on work design was first brought to light last year at our event in Washington, DC when panelist Arnold Levin touched on the subject at our ABOUT DESIGNING FOR CHOICE IN THE WORKPLACE event. He then followed up with a series of articles that discussed this concept in more detail. That is how interesting the topic is, and why we wanted to continue the discussion. Guest moderator Cheryl Durst, the executive vice president and CEO of IIDA, the International Interior Design Association deftly led the lively and provocative discussion on how work place strategists and designers can learn from the educational community. Meeting in the newly completed IIDA HQ learning center, the conversation got off to a quick start.
