Launch Planning Ideas Tool

• A well-planned workplace helps your people improve individual work processes, manage knowledge, enhance relationships with coworkers, speed the development of ideas, improve learning and mentoring, and quickly gain access to information. All of this is made easier by paying attention to the three primary ways of managing connections to and between your people.
  Manage Connections


• Since no two people have exactly the same job, the first task is to determine how much privacy is really necessary for each person (and each group) in order for work to be done well. Be prepared… debate over the need for public and private spaces can be challenging because privacy is such a personal issue. For some people, nothing short of four walls and a door will suffice; for others it's less important because they have a natural way of blocking out most distractions.
  Balance Privacy


• Visual sharing is key to helping people grasp new ideas and remember things. It helps people share their learnings with others, communicate their thoughts and ideas more effectively and transfer knowledge.
  Make Work Visible


• In most successful enterprises, people are free to work in individual ways. However, considering the inherent differences of gender, generation, ethnicity, and culture, it's easy to see how designing a work environment that supports workstyle diversity becomes a challenging assignment.
  Support Diverse Workstyles


• It's a fact - people are naturally drawn to spaces where they feel comfortable and connected to their environment. Similarly, when it comes to learning, innovating, and sharing, office workers are drawn to places that attract and inspire them. People get inspired in different ways: some through quiet and solitude; others by interactive stimulation through exercise and play. Whatever the type, spaces designed with inspiration in mind can help heighten people's senses, their awareness, and their mental processes.
  Offer Inspiring Spaces


• At the strategic level, your workplace must be managed as a wholly integrated system of changing - and interchangeable - components of interior architecture, furniture, and technology. That gives you the ability to adapt quickly to both long-term and spontaneous changes in the evolving needs of people, work process, and/or technology.
