Optimizing your offices should aim to meet
a range of prioritized business goals. While
there are plenty of general optimization
principles and ways to "improve" your
space utilization, you have to start with the
outcomes you're optimizing for. After you
establish what success looks like, you can
test your options and discover the most
optimized office layout.
With office optimization, your goals
determine what optimization means and
what it'll take to get there. If someone were
to optimize your office without context,
they might find thousands of square feet of
underutilized space, then sublet it or even
lease a smaller facility. But if one of your
organizational goals is to grow by 10% over
the next several years, downsizing is the
opposite of optimization. Similarly, if one of
your goals is to improve or maintain
employee satisfaction, and downsizing
requires you to increase your density per
person or density per workstation, that's
not the right type of optimization for your
agency.
