As enterprises reshape their workspaces for evolving work methodologies, ensuring success goes beyond merely implementing changes. A critical step often overlooked is the early alignment of design and IT - vital for achieving goals like enhanced collaboration and heightened productivity. For forward-thinking enterprises, it's essential to integrate key stakeholder organizations - IT, HR, facilities, real estate - early on. This approach guarantees a smoother integration of the necessary datasets, ranging from space utilization to collaboration platform data. In this session, a leading analyst will delve into the importance of aligning design principles and IT considerations right from the initial phase. This synergy, combined with the correct data and a clear understanding of cost factors, paves the way for a comprehensive approach to crafting the ideal workspace tailored to end-user needs.
