Things we won’t be bothering with in our new offices

  • A landline. We all have cellphones. When they ring, we answer. We’re thinking you want to talk to whoever you want to talk to, not a receptionist.
  • Desks. We’re creating workzones instead. A large, shared table for when you need one. Comfortable seating for anytime else. Storage in the basement for documents, if we really, truly need to print them out.
  • A boardroom. Boardrooms are probably the least effective space for problem solving there is. We’ve got a large blackboard – a really large blackboard painted directly on the wall- and sofas instead. That puts the problem in the middle, not the table.
  • Office furniture. We’re setting out to build a creative space, not a factory. Give people office furniture, they start behaving like they’re in an office, shutting down ideas and free thinking.

    I concur………..especially the landline. Perhaps you can include my traditional office in the revamp……..perhaps a table in the revised innovation area. I would love to go paperless and work downstairs where the customers are looking at our products. Try to create some energy where it is lacking!!!! ………..Robert
