THEMES - PART 1 - CASE STUDY - Strategy Development Process and Landing on the Client Themes

In this course

ABOUT THIS COURSE

The Workplace Strategy team will uncover key organizational themes. It will be done by discovery of systemic knowledge; through strategic engagement with key stakeholders; networking (both with external and internal stakeholders/including vendors in some situations); discovery and observation of cultural context process and structural context.

These organizational themes, in addition to any findings, will be translated into a design.

It is not unusual for some themes to be overlooked due to the client project team not focusing on the implementation yet, and therefore the larger and more costly or time consuming themes may get the attention, ie. agility in the workplace that dictates the design elements and cost elements of the project.

It is the job of the Change Manager later on in the project to do a full review of the findings from the Workplace Strategy discovery and find out what the major themes are that they will socialize and hold carriage of through the implementation period.

In this course, you will gain an understanding of how workplace themes are endorsed for the Change Program.

Getting to Know Your Client - Develop a Client Profile
Identifying the Stakeholders
Assessing Available Resources and Analyze Present Conditions

THE PROPERTY LEADS JOURNEY

ABOUT THIS COURSE

In considering your Workplace Strategy you need to first understand the drivers for the property aspirations and what the ideal workplace look like for your business.

The success of the property procurement and getting the accommodation brief right can only be done with careful interrogation of the business plan.

In this course, you will gain an understanding of how much work the Property Lead may have ahead of them before they can go to market for their organizations new workspace.
