Optimizing the Workplace for Innovation: Using Brain Science for Smart Design

It seems two very different behaviors optimize creative thinking for innovation processes: high-focus work and restorative activities. We need to experience these on our own as well as with others.

Organizations that value and design workplaces supporting all of these activities can improve their innovation efforts simply by having more ideas to consider. Explore the growing evidence that supports this and how, coupled with Haworth’s workplace expertise, space design can cultivate the creativity necessary to spark innovation.
