Scenario
You just opened a small company and got your first contract to design a new product. You divided your employees up into two teams of three to see who could come up with the best new designs. You gave them a week to work. As you observed their work, you noticed how noisy it was in your open-plan space. You also noticed some arguing, and one of your best designers had to go home early with a
migraine. After a week of work, you called the teams back to see what they accomplished and you were very disappointed. The designs were just not up to standard.
When you asked your workers what the problem was, they had a long list of issues with the workspace. You know you need to revamp your office if your company is going to be successful, but you need to take inventory before you can begin improvements.
