In today’s competitive business landscape, promoting and creating a culture of innovation has become more important than ever for all kinds of businesses. While most business owners acknowledge the importance of innovating, many struggle to proactively plan for it – especially when it comes to office design.
One of the most effective ways to promote and ensure innovation is to encourage employees to collaborate and brainstorm together. To this direction, workplaces must provide creative brainstorming spaces where managers and employees can effectively innovate.
Brainstorming rooms provide a natural crossroads for coworkers to meet and share ideas. They can be both informal (e.g. a large table in the break room) and formal (e.g. a walled conference room). Moreover, due to the social nature of the brainstorming rooms, it is ideal to be located in private or semi-private areas of your company’s offices, where noise and other distractions won’t affect the brainstorming sessions.
Below you can find some recommendations on how to design a creative brainstorming room in your offices. Of course, the first and most significant step in order to design the ideal brainstorming room for you and your company is to record and identify your needs and your office’s capacity for the creation of a brainstorming room.
