1. What exactly is a workplace strategy session?
A workplace strategy session is like a blueprint for your office’s future! We'll chat about your company’s goals, team dynamics, and how to optimise your space for productivity, comfort, and style. Think of it as a strategy session for success, where we turn your workplace into a place everyone will actually want to go to.
2. How do I know if my workplace needs a strategy session?
If you’re feeling cramped, disconnected, ships at night due to hybrid working or just know your space isn’t working as well as it could—it's time! Whether you’re moving into a new office, looking to improve team collaboration, or just want to revamp the vibe, our strategy sessions will help pinpoint where to focus your efforts and make your space work harder for you.
3. What happens during the strategy session?
During the session, we’ll dive into understanding your company’s needs, culture, and objectives. We’ll review your current workspace and discuss what’s working, what’s not, and where there’s room for improvement. By the end, you’ll walk away with actionable insights and a roadmap to create a workplace that supports your team’s productivity and happiness. Not only will you have a roadmap - but we will audit all your exisiting furniture and help create an inventory of what you will need for your new (or refurbed) office with a base cost estimate to start your planning.
4. How long does a workplace strategy session take?
Usually, about 60-90 minutes—just enough time to have a good chat without interrupting your day too much. Of course, if you want to dive deeper into the details, we’re happy to extend the conversation and make sure we’ve covered everything you need in our comprehensive 4 hour summits which are over two days.
5. What if we need a long term workplace strategy consultant?
We can accomodate that too., lead by Laura Heynike. This would be appropriate for larger organisations in healthcare or corporate environments. For spaces 5000-20,000m2 we would recommend a 9-12 week intensive timeline where interviews, stakeholders, site surveys, cost engineering are comprehensive and tangible reporting is generated to make budget recommendations.
6. What’s the next step after the session?
Once we’ve got a clear strategy, we’ll discuss how to implement it. Whether that means a full office redesign, some light tweaks, or just providing you with a detailed cost action plan, we’re here to help make it happen. You can count on us to bring the strategy to life that your CEO is confident to sign off and create a workspace that your team will love.
