Coined by Marie Kondo, the idea of "does this spark joy?" forces us to look at what we have and decide whether we need to make a change.

What if your workspace was more than just a desk and a chair? What if it was actually designed with you and your needs in mind? Join us as we sit down with renowned workplace strategist, Adam Burtt-Jones, to crack open the traditional views of office design and explore a revolutionized concept that puts people first. Adam sheds light on how we can create engaging, comfortable, and productive spaces that seamlessly blend with our lifestyle.

We dive into the intricate balance between strategy and design, discussing how joy, inspiration, and innovation can breathe life into a workspace. Adam asserts the importance of understanding people's routines, feelings, and emotions in the workspace in crafting effective design strategies. We also touch on the potential of creating a free-flowing workplace that challenges traditional office concepts and boosts productivity.

Adam guides us through the complexities of designing a workspace that harmoniously merges functionality and budget while meeting human needs. We then move on to ponder about the future evolution of workplaces, focusing on a shift towards employee empowerment and workplaces' role in recognizing good work. This episode promises to change your perspective on workspace design and leave you contemplating how your own workplace can adapt to these progressive concepts.
