Brainstorm

Brainstorm.

We take a holistic look at your asset, office or ecosystem of (work)places. Our diagnostic reviews consider:

  • People: tenant mix, tenant programming, employee experience, workplace experience, culture, community, social connectivity, talent attraction and retention; and

  • Place: architecture and interior design, workplace strategy and office layout, landscaping, furniture and fixtures, use of space, amenities, way finding, marketing, brand, technology solutions.

We work with you to understand your project’s priorities and constraints. Our brainstorming services are offered at three levels:

The Whitespace

  • Bounce ideas off of us. Pick our brains. Ideate. We love thinking out loud with you and understand how valuable it can be to talk with a trusted partner, particularly as many of us work remotely. Let’s connect and block off some time.

The Quick and Dirty

  • In 24 hours, we’ll research your project, visit your asset virtually or in person, and produce our top 3 actionable suggestions.

The Deep Dive 

  • We’re your partner in brainstorming and identifying the opportunities in your asset. This diagnostic report delivers more detail on the project and provides a range of options. Solutions may include short term wins, while offering ideas for planning longer term or more capital intense improvements.

Resource Connect the Dots

Resource.

We can connect the dots and bring in the right partners and resources to take your project to the next level. We’ve worked with partners across the US and we’ve done the leg work. Don’t waste time searching for and vetting designers, service providers and community connections. Let our network plug in and serve you, while you continue driving the project forward.

We’re your partner and resource.

Implement partner project management

Implement.

Many of our clients do not want to commit to hiring a project manager full time (especially right now), yet, they do not have the bandwidth or interest to actively participate in the meetings necessary to steer the project’s look and feel. Sometimes, it’s just not their bailiwick to make numerous and critical design decisions and discussing social media and the nuances of marketing makes their eyes glaze over. We get it! Luckily, this is what we love and do best!

Let’s connect to discuss how we can help extend your team and bring your creative vision to tangible reality.

 

Our sweet spot is the intersection of people and places.
