This leads to focus on how office occupancy can aid, or hinder, the productivity of the business in supporting its people in performing their task and how evolving approaches to work can be enhanced by the buildings and other spaces that house them. He has spent the last fifteen years working as an independent consultant, helping clients move from traditional to more ‘agile’ styles of occupancy.
