Born between 1997 and 2010, they’re often referred to as Millennials and are very concerned about work/life balance. We’re talking about Gen Z, a group of people who are still undervalued at a corporate level but who are estimated to represent 27% of the workforce by 2025. They are the first global generation to be born into the age of…
In the middle of lockdown we worked from home. Later, with the lifting of some restrictions, some of us returned to the office. Many, however, adopted new hybrid working formulas, thus not returning to the office life we knew before. As a consequence we’ve become somewhat accustomed to the home atmosphere, to working in complete solitude and to taking a…
Everyone is different and perceives the environment in various ways. How we approach work, relationships and other activities is also based on this perception. Sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste: each element is linked to one another, triggering different reactions in each individual. Today, more and more architects and designers are taking the five senses into account when developing new…
We often talk about agile project management in our daily lives. More and more companies are embracing this philosophy, which allows for a measurable ROI right from the early stages of a project (by breaking it down into small steps). The iterative nature of agile processes helps to improve efficiency by reducing implementation time. But which method should you choose…
We live in a world where technology overtook analogue quite some time ago. We can check our bank account from our smartphone, run our dishwasher by voice control or turn on the lights by moving in front of a sensor. However in multiple occasions a smart home has no real correspondence to the office world. Just think about the slow…
In organisations where hierarchy is important, a promotion often involves a logistical upgrade, such as a new workstation or office. More space, more natural light, more comfort and more privacy. Among these benefits, lighting plays a major role due to its positive contribution to general health and well-being. According to a recent study, workers who can enjoy daylight during the…
Project Management has become an increasingly key activity in both large and small companies. Processes and workflows need to be increasingly agile, waste-free and, above all, improvable: constant progress in terms of efficiency, quality, innovation and productivity is a necessity to survive in today’s work environment. By managing projects in the best possible way, it’s easier to identify what works…
Behaviour influences design and design influences people’s behaviour. This axiom, widely shared in the world of architecture, is one of the pillars of behavioural-based design (also called behaviour-based design) which is a trend that is on the rise in the office field. This is certainly not a novelty: the transition from the first open spaces to cubicles in the 1980s…
Most of our thinking happens automatically and constantly, without any real intellectual engagement. Critical thinking is the exact opposite, as it represents a deliberate act. It’s a mental process that develops through a deep analysis of the available information, examined in detail but also as a whole. This information is selected, synthesised and re-exposed in order to be better communicated…
