Summary

Creative Workspaces explores how thoughtful office design influences employee productivity and well-being, arguing that strategic workspace design is a critical business tool, not just an aesthetic choice. It delves into aspects like ergonomics, lighting, and acoustics, showcasing how they impact cognitive function and social interaction. Interestingly, a well-designed workspace can foster collaboration and inspire creativity, while a poorly designed one can decrease morale.

 
The book presents core design principles and examines flexible work models like activity-based working and co-working spaces, analyzing their benefits and drawbacks. It also explores the efficacy of open-plan offices, acknowledging that while they may increase collaboration, they also have downsides like noise and lack of privacy.

 
Case studies of leading companies illustrate how innovative workspace designs have achieved tangible business outcomes. This book uniquely emphasizes a data-driven approach to workspace design, moving beyond anecdotal evidence to advocate for evidence-based strategies. It progresses by first establishing design principles, then exploring flexible work models, and finally presenting real-world case studies to demonstrate the impact of thoughtful workspace design.

Rethinking Agile - Why Agile...

Klaus Leopold

You can turn any problem into a mystery. There are now enough agile templates and frameworks to turn any simple insight into a challenge that naturally can only be resolved with this or that method or framework. Yes, I am sitting in a glass house. I make my money giving companies valuable tips and my name is associated with Kanban. However, my goal is to never make things more complicated than what they really are. And a simple insight goes along with this: An agile organization is not created by completely optimizing elements isolated from one another—in most cases this involves teams. Often, though, Agile odysseys start with this local (sub-)optimization, where at the same time their chosen agile method becomes the golden calf. Then the only attempt is to do the method justice rather than asking what creates more value for the customer. Typically, collaboration between the development areas of an organization and the business decision makers isn't taken into consideration.
In this book, combined with the power of illustration, I want to make a clear and meaningful point about this simple insight, which you can neither certify nor trademark. In the past two years, I have gone from conference to conference with my presentation "Why agile teams have nothing to do with business agility". Over and over, I receive feedback from people in the audience about how they have found themselves in the same trials and tribulations during agile transformations.
Hence, this book presumes a fundamental knowledge about agility and the mechanisms behind it. Perhaps your company has just started down the path of becoming agile, or you are already stuck knee-deep in the transformation and are asking yourself what the heck has gone wrong. In this case, you will probably find useful hints in this book. And perhaps while reading this book you will realize something that makes you smile to yourself, which means my goal has been achieved.

Empathy in Action - How to...

Dr. Natalie Petouhoff, Tony Bates

A bold new look at how technology can become a force multiplier to deliver more empathy and integrate deeper, more personalized human connections into everyday business interactions at scale.
While the world has never needed more empathy than today, too often technology is used by businesses as a substitute and a barrier to real human connection. We’ve all experienced dumb chatbots, automated scripts and poor employee interactions that dehumanizes customer interactions.
That’s because brands have focused on company centric business strategies, processes and technology.
However, simply put: No customers, no business. What if, by transforming the old company-centric way of doing business and putting customers and employees front and center, businesses could succeed faster than ever before and not at the expense of their most important assets—the very people who make it possible to be in business?
Empathy is a powerful construct for a better world and a better business. It’s not a synonym for nice. Empathy is about respect and treating people in the context of their unique situation in a highly personalized way.
In this groundbreaking new book, longtime technology leader and current CEO of Genesys, Tony Bates teams up with researcher and customer experience evangelist, Dr. Natalie Petouhoff to define a new path forward to put empathy into action.
By using strategies and technologies as the flywheel to orchestrate systems of listening, understanding and predicting, as well as, taking action and learning from those interactions at scale, businesses can easily put the customer and employee first, not only meet the ever-changing customer and employee expectations, but also leapfrog their competition.
They predict empathy is the next frontier in technology. This book is aimed at sparking an industry-wide conversation about how exponential technologies like, AI and cloud can enable a more empathetic world.
