Collaborative Proposal: A Call for Joint Action
In the modern workplace, collaboration between various industries is crucial in creating an enjoyable and productive environment for everyone. This is particularly true when it comes to facility management, corporate real estate, and AV technology.
Nyere Hollingsworth, an industry leader, emphasizes the importance of such collaboration. Having joined Crestron in 2011 as an application engineer with no knowledge about the AV industry, Hollingsworth has since become a strong advocate for breaking down industry walls. She expresses excitement about technologies that enable more immersive and frictionless collaboration experiences, providing meaningful insights into work habits and productivity.
Collaboration with other industries and organizations, such as architecture and human resources, can make the workplace where everyone thrives, feels connected, and gets work done efficiently. Such collaboration enables the design and implementation of versatile, well-equipped meeting spaces tailored to different work styles. This creates flexible ecosystems that encourage spontaneous interactions and structured brainstorming, boosting innovation and productivity across teams.
A new study from Jabra, LSE highlights the importance of technology for hybrid working. This technology can count people and track peak facility usage, providing valuable data for facility managers to optimize space usage and create a more efficient work environment.
Professionals in real estate and facility management groups need data and information from the AV industry for improved AV integrations into the spaces. Through education, advocacy, and collaboration, the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) empowers its members to navigate the complexities of facility management and drive efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall excellence in facility operations.
CoreNet Global, a global network dedicated to advancing the practice of corporate real estate and workplace management, plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of work and corporate real estate on a global scale. The organization ensures the office atmosphere matches the company’s culture, aiding the transition back to the office.
Both CoreNet Global and IFMA contribute uniquely to enhancing office spaces and meeting the needs of end users. IFMA provides a platform for facility managers to exchange knowledge, best practices, and innovative solutions to optimize the functionality, safety, and sustainability of various facilities worldwide.
In summary, cross-functional collaboration between architectural, corporate real estate, facilities management, and AV industries can significantly enhance office meeting spaces and the overall industry ecosystem by fostering innovation, improving efficiency, and creating environments that support diverse work needs and collaborative dynamics. This collaboration leads to offices that are more adaptable, engaging, and conducive to productivity, while strengthening the broader industry ecosystem by fostering continuous innovation and integrated problem-solving. The most important thing is to start the conversation and figure out the specifics as we go, to make the office a collaborative and productive space for all.
