Frequently asked questions
- How do we transparently and proactively communicate with the stakeholders about aligning the capacity and specifications of the learning/work environment with the organisational strategy?
- How do we integrate Real Estate, Facility Management, and Information Technology assets into a coherent learning/work environment (cross-functional integration—the whole is more than the sum of its parts)?
- How can the accommodation remain aligned with the dynamic strategy after delivery to remain adequate (periodic 360° feedback evaluation)?
- How do we involve the management team and the users in coordinating and future-proofing the whole (brief /design and evaluations)?
- What does a (periodic) evaluation of the learning/work environment consist of to improve and secure performance?
- How do we align accommodation risk management with the organisation’s approach to risk management?
- How do we enrich the input for quarterly reports, the annual budget, and the annual report with qualitative data in addition to quantitative data?
The answers to the above seven questions give insight into where the accommodation aligns with policy and strategy and where substantial deviations exist. How bad are the deviations, and what can go wrong as a result (risks)? Is adjustment necessary/desired? What does it yield, and what does it cost in terms of effort/money?
A management team that is aware of the strategic opportunities of a harmonised environment, together with the help of interdisciplinary specialists, can make a difference in unlocking and unleashing human potential.
We turn a learning/work environment into an evidence-based business asset in which not only Finance and Operations, the task side, play a role but also Sales & Marketing and Human Resources, the human side. Both sides are integrally involved in our advice. Tailor-made, in line with your specific issue as the client. Within the internal organisational context of culture, shared values, and the external context of regulations and common practice. We are using a common language between the demand and supply sides.
“An analytical and logical left-brain approach should be balanced with an integrated and intuitive right-brain approach.” (René Stevens)
Dare to think big as an organisation, but start small and expand incrementally. Innovation is impossible without experimentation. Experiment and gradually find out which form and speed of implementation suit the organisation best. Have faith in the process. Like anything new, it takes a bit of trial and error before you get it right, but the payoff is worth it.
Analytical thinking allows us to comprehend the parts of the learning/work environment, while integrated thinking enables us to understand how they work together.
