How organisations are rethinking workplace design<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn today\u2019s competitive marketplace that demands constant creativity and innovation, there\u2019s an increased need to rethink workplace design.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cCreating intelligent workspaces like the huddle room, is the future of work,\u201d says Audrey William, senior fellow and head of research at Frost & Sullivan Australia and New Zealand.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cSmall meeting spaces are fast becoming smart workspaces where high performance collaboration like problem solving and idea generation are taking place,\u201d says William.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShe believes that over time, collaboration technologies like video will evolve even further with many already starting to include the integration of smart devices and voice activated speakers powered by artificial intelligence technologies.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShe predicts: \u201cIn the next three years we can expect to see more cloud based innovation driving new collaboration solutions. Cost effective next generation workplace of the future technologies will appeal to NZ businesses.\u201d William is commenting on a new report which finds organisations across the Asia Pacific are creating more open, natural and agile workplaces to encourage collaboration.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBusinesses are finding value in creating smaller, more agile spaces that enable people to meet when they need to, regardless of location, according to the\u00a0Growing Big Ideas from Small Spaces: The Polycom Huddle Room Report<\/em><\/a>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOpen workplaces or larger conference rooms, it points out, are not always ideal when it comes to hosting impromptu meetings or confidential discussions.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAgile workspaces such as huddle rooms enable important calls and video conferences to take place as required, ensuring that remote workers have sufficient face time, contribute to team meetings and feel included.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA \u201chuddle workspace\u201d is \u00a0a small meeting room or area that due to its size or layout can accommodate only a small number of people – typically six or less – giving them an intimate space to meet and collaborate.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHuddle rooms emerged from the need to enable team gatherings and interactions, where ideas can be shared and teams can collaborate as and when required.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThese findings suggest a significant opportunity for decision-makers to improve collaboration experiences for their employees within the small meeting room environment, says Gabrielle Cichero, senior director, Polycom Asia Pacific.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA key advice is to test the technology prior to using it for the first time. Some technologies require plugins which may take a few minutes to download and install and may also not be compatible with all browsers, it points out.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
