Heart of Agile Scotland - Is open plan the best plan?

Come along to meet new people; share your experiences; and help build our community!

Doors will open at 1815 for refreshments and networking, with the main event kicking off at 1900.

Many believe that where teams collaborate can be as important as how they collaborate. With that in mind, this evening, we will be welcoming Joe Wright who will be debuting his new talk: ‘The Good, the Bad, the Open plan: Creating environments for creative teams’:

“creative types are the toughest” - Grimaldi Design (1979) - on introducing open plan offices

The way we work has evolved at the same breakneck pace as where we work. We’ve torn down the cubicle farms and replaced them with seas of open plan offices. But, was that a good idea? How can we tell?

In this talk, we’ll hear from scientific studies which measured the real impact of moving to open plan, scrutinising their acclaimed benefits and notorious drawbacks. We’ll cover the alternatives that are on offer and what we can do to create an excellent space for our creative teams.

Most of us can’t directly change our office environment, but you’ll hear how to influence it and learn the difference between your Bürolandschaft and your Biophilic offices along the way.

Headphones are not required
