Recently I’ve seen a few blog posts talking about workspace/office/cubicle creativity, and it has me wondering… Does it matter? Personally, I don’t think people are made to be more creative because of a cool workspace, per se. But I do think that a management attitude that encourages workers to express themselves will be rewarded by increased creativity and innovation.
Here are some examples of creative work environments:
Ogilvy & Mather’s Office (Guangzhou)
via 8 Coolest Office Spaces, Ever on Business Pundit
Google (Mountain View, Zurich)
via Google Office on Fubiz
Facebook (Palo Alto)
via Facebook Office on Fubiz
And here is the office where I work. Well, not my desk, but an example nearby:
Yay. This is actually one of the nicest office spaces I’ve ever worked at. Sadly this is probably typical of many corporate offices.
