| HOW WE WORK Creating a workplace is the art of creating community. Communities of common intent produce magnificent works because of their group interests, goals and collaborations. These are the strengths of cities and towns, and are precisely the situations replicated in successful workplace environments. Our contemporary workplace is challenged by the flexibility brought on by the wireless age. As our daily habits are influenced by the connectivity and convenience of the Internet, so are our business habits. Technology tends to shrink the distance between people, but a common gathering place is still essential for teamwork. Whether work is done through the strength of individual or group efforts, the gathering is critical for collaboration, problem solving, and the generation of new ideas. A good workplace needs to support the culture. A good workplace is like a world class city. A good workplace has private, semiprivate and public spaces interlinked by gathering spaces where impromptu interaction occurs. |
