HOW IT WORKS
A NEW TOOLBOX
Space can be described as a cluster of
symbolic and sensual codes.
The contextual sum of this ‘neuronal landscape’
has a profound, but mostly unconscious, influence on our mental state. Research on brain plasticity supports
the notion that our environment can shape brain structures and is of vital importance for effective cognitive functioning.
There is clear evidence that quality of
space is strongly related to improved operational capability as well as employee
productivity and satisfaction. Workplace experience management
can improve all kinds of work related aspects like creativity, problem solving,
collaboration, health and employee retention. In contrast to intellectual
framed business theories applied in order to improve company´s operations,
enhanced environmental design is based on unconscious affinity. It is therefore
a much stronger stimulus and its effects do not rely on explanations in
order to show positive effects.
This potent strategy for human capital
management affects not only employer branding but foremost long term business
success in key performance indicators and return on investment.
It is therefore important to design
workplace environments in the best possible way for people’s wellbeing and business
objectives. Disregarding
human´s inclination towards an evolutionary appropriated environment is simultaneously denying potential for
positive financial growth.
But current workplaces, including
flexible seating, are designed to focus on efficiency rather than psychological
welfare. Enhanced
environmental facilitation on the other hand creates optimal conditions in order
to achieve
excellent
performance by
providing people with better opportunities to contribute to organizational
goals and
performance
as part of a total quality management.
This is why Ten M uses aspects of the
physical environment in order to create the most
comprehensive workplaces. The approach is based on
experience from many years of experience and over 500 scientific studies including
for example cognitive neuroscience, behavioral genetics, evolutionary biology
and medicine, cognitive psychology and biological anthropology. Ten M helps
clients to enhance business performance by improving the way a human-centric
workplace is planned, managed and aligned with operations and business
strategy.
This is nothing less than a new tool to
implement business consulting’s objectives and a company’s business strategy.
Experience-based consulting does use real estate solutions to solve business
challenges and results in an increase of a property’s value. The
workplace beyond design trends can be a competitive advantage and office space
an asset rather than a cost burden. This is even more true with the
challenges related to the increase of home offices.
To revitalize and reframe business
operations in this innovative way represents a new value proposition.
Even hospitals, care homes, schools and
universities could greatly benefit from a holistic neuro-design strategy.
Scientific based property solutions
support organizations to optimize the full potential of their core
asset:
people.
