Optimizing the Workplace for Innovation - Using Brain Science for Smart Design
In our global economy, it’s imperative for organizations to innovate. And, we know new ideas are needed to innovate. Since creativity is how new ideas originate, it makes sense that the World Economic Forum would predict creativity to jump from the #10 spot in 2015 to #3 spot by next year in 2020!
As one of the top needed skills for 2020, understanding how creative ideas come about and are shared can help Facility Managers create workplaces to unlock creative potential in any organization.
Want to dig deeper and discuss how science and workplace design intersect to foster creativity? Please join us for a lunch conversation and presentation with Workplace Research Strategist, Beck Johnson.
