OUR VOICE
2024 A Call for Simplicity
As we usher in a new year filled with possibilities, I’m optimistic! If we’ve learned anything from the last three years, it’s that despite all things, business must endure. With signs pointing to a steady year ahead, our businesses will continue to grow if we focus on the right things for our people.
Manifesting Purpose Through Experience Visioning
Today's organizations face uncharted territory when addressing their challenges. In the era of hybrid working styles, your workplace experience can be the key to helping attract, retain, and empower talent.

It's about more than offering employees great amenities or flexible workspaces, because an office is entirely arbitrary without a carefully considered throughline of purpose. It takes vision to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Eliminating Experience Detractors
So far this year, we outlined that the key to building customer, employee, or patient loyalty is a winning Experience Strategy. We discussed

Now more than ever, people are prioritizing their comfort and convenience and are more critical when evaluating where they spend their time.
People who are less drawn to or engaged with your space than expected may (knowingly or unknowingly) be affected by your Experience
Detractors.

Constructing an office and mixed-use complex involves myriad decisions managed by multiple professionals – civil and mechanical engineers, architects, builders, interior designers, developers, landscapers, surveyors, inspectors, and many other specialists. But what’s often missing is input from the prospective occupants or visitors of the building. What do they want for their employee experience? What amenities would they prefer? Where should they be located for ease of use?
