Nordic Work Life is about collaboration and innovation
“Human centred Design: “Nordic Work Life is About Collaboration and Innovation”” – was the title of Steen’s presentation. Steen introduced how to design workplaces in order to support innovative processes. One of his key points were; that companies should create their innovation zones based on processes and procedures where creativity and innovation thrive. Steen recommended not just designing places that look innovative – but instead design areas and zones that support the users’ creative processes.
During Steen’s presentation, he showed what modern offices look like with areas to interact, collaborate, reflect and ‘no-tech’ zones – areas that can be used to e.g. meditation and recharging. Offices like these are important and necessary for the employees’ health in a world where everyone is online 24/7.
