Synopsis

The fastest, easiest way to shift culture toward engagement and productivity Change Your Space, Change Your Culture is a guide to transforming business by rethinking the workplace. Written by a team of trail-blazing leaders, this book reveals the secrets of companies that discovered the power of culture and space. This insightful guide reveals what companies lose by viewing office space as something to manage or minimize. With practical tips and implementation details, the book helps the reader see that the workspace is, in fact, a crucial driver of productivity and morale. Change Your Space, Change Your Culture was born out of recent studies that expose truly outrageous "Oh, my God" realities: More than 70 percent of the workforce either hates their job or they are just going through the motions. Half of all office space is wasted. Those shattering facts exist because office space is generally regarded as "overhead" or "sunk cost." Most buildings today clearly communicate the low priority placed on people-friendly design. Poor workforce engagement is baked into the culture.This book provides guidance on turning this around, by rethinking and reshaping space to align with the way people work.

That's why the office must be designed to inspire the desired culture and workflow - if it's not properly designed, no program, training or rules will be effective ov

Quatrième de couverture :

A NEW VISION OF THE PRODUCTIVE AND INNOVATIVE WORKSPACE “ ‘We’re leaving behind a complicated world that operated like a machine, to a much more complex world that operates more like an ecosystem,’ he states, in a nutshell,the big idea behind workplaces that work in a hyperconnected world.” —Susan S. Szenasy, Publisher/Editor–in–Chief at Metropolis Magazine “This is a fascinating exploration of the multiple ways our work environments are hindering or helping us get things done. Rex Miller has done a remarkable job of chronicling the significant changes afoot in our culture and their impact on consciousness—a terrific treaty on the power that form has on function.” —David Allen, author of Getting Things Done “This book is an excellent treatise on a topic that has been long underserved. Every CEO should be personally involved in the design of the work environment, and this is the book to read if you want to understand why that’s important, what you should care about and how to proceed.” —Dave Gray, author of The Connected Company “ Change Your Space, Change Your Culture will transform the way you think about workspace. An insipid workspace is worse than a lost opportunity; it is a lodestone in a world where companies must innovate to survive. This book offers actionable insights and real world examples to demonstrate how and why your workspace is critical for forming, shaping, and retaining the sort of team and culture required for success. I found it so compelling that I’m planning to incorporate the book into my Building Innovation Teams and Cultures MBA course at Kellogg.” —Joe Dwyer, Partner at Founder Equity and Digital Intent; teaches Innovation at Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management
