In today’s dynamic business environment, agility is the new currency. Organisations must be adaptable, responsive, and capable of navigating uncertainty to thrive. However, achieving this level of agility often requires significant effort and a shift in mindset. A powerful, yet often overlooked tool for fostering organisational agility is workplace design.
By strategically crafting the physical spaces where work happens, leaders can create an environment that empowers employees, fosters collaboration, and accelerates the organisation’s ability to adapt and innovate.
