Branding specialist and Spacecraft Podcaster Dan Moscop recently spent some time talking with workplace expert and psychologist Nigel Oseland. In the podcast they look at what people REALLY want at work; whether open plan is as rubbish as everyone says it is; how to use data to prove design works; and touch on Nigel’s current research projects with Lendlease and Herman Miller.
I'd be surprised if anyone in the Workplace sector wasn't familiar with Nigel Oseland, and if you aren't you've almost certainly read some of his research without realising. Nigel is an environmental psychologist, workplace strategist, change manager, researcher, author and international speaker.
He works with his clients to redefine their workstyles and create cost-effective and space-efficient workplaces that enhance concentration, collaboration, creativity and business performance. Where appropriate he helps design and implement sustainable agile working environments.
Nigel’s approach to consulting is to apply his knowledge, obtained through both academic research and practical experience, to workplace strategy and design. He is a firm believer in evidence-based design and delivering unique workplaces that support the occupying business. As a psychologist, he campaigns for workplaces that cater for all personality types.
I could talk to Nigel for hours — I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
