The basics.
What are we trying to accomplish?.. Three possibilities.
1. Stay the same – duplicate exactly the layout, office size, travel communication paths, size of offices, and maintain the physical relationships currently in place. The location maybe on a different floor or in different building altogether.
2. Become economically efficient - Reduce the size of the space, remove redundancies and streamline travel communication paths. Reduce the size of the ceiling high offices and reduce the size of the workspaces where appropriate. Spending less on office space is a priority in this concept.
3. Become modestly and generously efficient. Cost per person for office space is always a consideration. Conference rooms and meeting areas to accommodate a location to share ideas, add a cost but, also provide a modest and generous atmosphere for the birth of new products and efficiencies. Travel paths are numerous providing people with easy access to each other. .
The design concept will reflect the ideas, attitudes and strategies of management.
