Chris and Ian get their first piece of mail :D then talk to adjunct professor, author, and workplace strategy consultant Kursty Groves about her book, ‘Spaces for Innovation: The Design and Science of Inspiring Environments’ (co-authored with Oliver Marlow). The conversation explores the book’s design, motivations, then selected coworking case study, interview and workplace theory content. Sadly James is on holiday this week so no Pinder Ponder :( but there are still plenty of insights to discuss.
‘Spaces for Innovation’ is the output of a mixed methods research commission, involving literature review, case studies, ethnographic observations, interviews and workshops. The book is structured around ten sequential themes about workplace change. Only three of these themes are specifically about physical space: spaces for innovation involve social, cognitive and digital spaces too.
