It can be easy to believe that your executive colleagues are difficult to please. When you’re wanting to get a hybrid workplace concept over the line but you’re plagued by rats and mice issues.
Sometimes it’s hard to even get out of the blocks before executives fall into disagreement about what your hybrid workspace should look like.
Most Property executives will try to avoid this by working with a reputable design firm to come up with test fits or floor plans that their colleagues can react to. How else can you move the conversation forward? It’s a reasonable assumption.
At the same time, I’m going to challenge you to consider whether that’s working for you.
No doubt you’re selective about your choice of Architect or Interior Designer, and you’re confident in their design skills. They are incredible at bringing workplace concepts to life and this is what they do best.
The question is…. are they bringing the right insights to inform your high-performing hybrid workspace design?
The problem is that the hybrid workplace is rapidly evolving, and it’s more complicated – people’s days and hours working in the office are more varied across the workforce. There is a lot more to understand, to make the hybrid workspace a beautiful fit.
Executive teams are well aware of this. And they have a variety of opinions about what is best for their teams and for the organisation.
But most Property Directors and COO’s don’t use a method that consolidates their executives’ connection with their workplace concept. That’s why they experience pushback.
If you’re going to garner strong support from your executive team, you need a few things:
➡️ A sellable workplace concept
➡️ A process that compels buy-in
➡️ A way to introduce your test fits that will achieve full executive endorsement
I have a training mini-series that explains what I do differently to establish hybrid workspace concepts without pushback from senior executives.
If you’re looking to capitalise on hybrid work to reduce the size of your office, this training could be just what you need.
You’ll discover how to compel high degrees of buy-in from entire executive teams to smaller footprints in hybrid offices, without long delays or constant course correction.
