In a new study from architecture firm Gensler, there is evidence that supports that workplace performance is directly linked to the level of innovative office design. We're not talking strictly about fancy technology. Innovative office design is implemented through all areas: from how comfortable a desk is to whether the employee lounge is laid out to accommodate both large groups and private conversations, from conference room adaptability to inspirational reception areas. "We've proven that design not only influences the innovative process," writes Gensler, "But also that, done correctly, design has the power to drive new innovation forward in a direct and measurable way."
