Workplace Strategy for the Flexible Office will give you the theoretical understanding and the practical tools needed for creating and implementing a workplace strategy as you move towards a new office or way of working. Using both the physical design of the workplace and the way of working as jumping-off points, Aram Seddigh presents five research-based principles that guide your thinking when developing workplace strategies, and how this work can be carried out. These principles are Right-sizing, Diversify, Facilitate Collaboration, Increase Adaptability, and Insights Through Participation. Together they form the Workplace Adequacy Framework. In the first part of the book, you'll gain insight into the current state of research in the field, with a theoretical model to deepen your knowledge. The next part presents a method and a practical review on how to develop and apply a workplace strategy. The final part of the book shows how workplace strategies could be executed by two different organisations - a tech company and a production company - with differing conditions. This book focuses on hybrid and flexible ways of working (like activity-based working, for example), but the method can also be applied to other ways of working. The book can be used as course literature in the education of workplace -strategists and related roles, as well as for architects, project managers, change man-agers, workers within HR and real estate de-part-ments, facility managers, real estate con-sultants and similar professions whose work involves office -design and new ways of working.
