The way organisations work is changing. In the past work was individually focused, but today and as we move into the future the reverse is true. More people are "knowledge workers" and they need to work in dynamic teams to support collaborative working and agile workplaces.
Consequently the traditional workplace that consisted of large fixed and individual and department based workspaces do not reflect this reality and are hampering collaboration, innovation and growth.
This means workspaces have to change – to work harder. Organisations need to be smart about the way real estate is used. They need to foster collaboration, attract the best talent and keep those employees engaged.
This means adopting new and more agile workspaces where employees are free to work in different locations easily and effectively.
