„Star Model‟ for effectiveness - Jay Galbraith 1995
Designing Organisations: An Executive Briefing on Strategy, Structure and Process
A Strategy is a long term plan of action designed to achieve a goal.
Workplace Strategy – A Definition
Workplace Design should be :
- maximising the use of space and minimising costs
- providing accommodation to suit the business
- enhancing productivity/performance
- an enabler of cultural change
- a manifestation of the ‘brand’
“Common definition shows a limited and cost-focused perspective.”
Arnold Craig Levin, Design Management Review, Spring 2007
A Strategy is a long term plan of action designed to achieve a goal.
Workplace Strategy - Design
Workplace Design
Post WW II – „Modernism‟ – form followed function
1980’s – „Post-modernism‟ – design form took precedence over function
1990’s – Workplace Strategy was a backlash
Primary driver was reduction in Real Estate costs.
Space planning and strategy were separated from design.
Perceived value was only in the business case. Then came…..
Universal Planning - structured space planning to increase density and save costs.Judged by…..
Benchmarking - m2 per person and % usage as a tool for judging financial success.
2004-2009 +/- Workplace Strategists provide the way to combine the brief and design
concept.
A Strategy is a long term plan of action designed to achieve a goal.
Workplace Strategy – A History
Workplace Strategy should align with the enterprise drivers :
Process Driven :
1. Educate & Assess
2. Build the Business Case
3. Design the Plan
4. Implement
5. Monitor for Continuous Success
Property related costs are second only to Salaries and Benefits

Workplace Strategy – 2008
Innovation comes not from discovering
something wholly new,
but from putting elements together in a
wholly new way.
Planning approach
Alternative workspace is a concept that provides a flexible working
environment designed to match the needs of modern business and can be
interpreted in many different ways.
Increases meeting space:
Breakout
Meeting room
Presentation room
Private lounge
Video conference
Think tank
Provides alternative work settings for different types of activities:
Project space
Teaming areas
Lounge
Think tank
Increases capacity of the floor without downsizing the individual workstation:
Communal meeting spaces
Quiet rooms
Project space
Flexible meeting / office spaces/ rooms
Provides space for visitors to work and collaborate:

WORK PERFORMANCE
Companies create open plan environments to promote teamwork, communication,
and innovation. Breaking down the walls decreases the perceived and real hierarchy
in a traditional, entitlement based environment. It also helps to promote greater
interaction between employees, encouraging more chance encounters and informal
discussions. The trend is toward more collaborative spaces and as the number of
traditional worksettings decrease, the amount of support space and alternative
worksettings increases.

The objective of Spaceless Growth is to sign a lease and by means of forecasted growth remain in the
same space, giving predictability of RE Costs over the period of the lease – but what’s holding it back?
- Management practices slow to change
- Local regulations & employees unions – risk averse
- Nature of the building stock – investment outweighs the benefits
- Demands for Sustainability – CO2 footprint
- Sector/National differences in culture- current style of workplace design
Mental Health problems are having a huge impact in the workplace. Study of 30,000 employees by
CIPD in UK shows increasing numbers are taking time off for depression and stress. Source: Independent 2007
But what is the future?
Home, once the shelter from the stress of work, will merge with the rest of the places we work in.

Office of the future requires thinking in terms of space and time…not desks and chairs, Martha O‟Mara “Strategy & Place” DW Distributed Work 2005

Workplace Strategy – Impact of Technology
Some thoughts: Technology = enablers = freedom = control = creativity
The workplace will be both virtual and geographical
Workplace will become an increasingly important place for self-realisation
We will demand original surroundings that stimulate creativity & innovation
We will take an individual role in creating our own space for work
Architecture will become more & more transparent, interior and exterior will merge
Growth will be achieved by taking a holistic approach, embracing social responsibility as well as
economics and technology
The challenge for Real Estate professionals is to adapt to managing flexible environments in the
portfolio, for IT to manage the virtual workplace and for HR to accept a greater responsibility for
reaching out to individuals.
“Collaboration will happen on an astronomical scale- teams will number in thousands or even millions
providing capability. It will challenge our most deep rooted assumptions about how to do business,”
Don Tapscott & Anthony D. Williams, “Wikinomics – How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything”
