Item # AMW15 - Co-Design Workshops to Determine Baseline Space Plan and Assess Organizational Readiness for Agile Workforce Accommodation

Work activities should be designed to support desired business outcomes, and thus should be based upon an understanding of the work practices which the workforce itself identifies as being key to their workplace success.  To gain this understanding, a series of co-design workshops are used to determine the ideal work environment “enablers”. Workshop design is based upon interviews with key stakeholders that identify the organization’s unique business objectives and desired outcomes.  In separate manager and individual contributor workshops, participants are asked to identify the key work practices that are required to support those objectives and outcomes.  In a subsequent  combined management / contributor  workshop, participants identify the requisite work environment enablers to include company policy, management practices, technology support and physical environment that facilitate the previously-identified key work practices. This information is used to develop a detailed baseline space plan, provide insight into the organizational / cultural readiness for workplace change and identify the change management program that will be needed to support the desired workplace transformation

Item # AMW16  - Pre and Post Occupancy Assessment of the Prototype for a Shared Work Environment

Work Environment Enablers (types of work space, supporting technologies, policies and team agreements) facilitate the use of Key Work Practices of a work group.  The presence of these Work Practices re-enforce the likelihood that a work group will achieve its business objectives and desired business outcomes. The dependency of Work Practices on specific Enablers establishes a cause and effect hypothesis that can be tested by measuring the presence or use of the Enablers and associated Work Practices.  This is done before a new shared work environment is occupied and then several months after occupancy.  The Pre Occupancy Work Environment Assessment is designed to establish a baseline of employees’ overall agreement with the existence of enablers and key work practices and to gain consensus on how supporting Enablers need to be revised within the shared work environment to improve the Work Practices. The Post Occupancy Assessment analyzes and reports on the effectiveness of the revised Enablers to better facilitate use of Key Work Practices within the newly occupied shared work environment.  These assessments can also be used to measure ongoing performance of the shared work environment design to identify the need for potential future improvements.    

Item # AMW17 - Wholesale-Priced-to-Employer, Corporate Travel Purchasing Program
