RESEARCH ABSTRACT: A thorough discovery process helped us meet DNB’s strategic objectives by engaging in interviews, utilisation studies, surveys, and social network analysis. This helped identify common collaborators among teams, how teams operated and what behaviors should be nurtured.
CHALLENGE: The office space of Katalon is separated into 2 parts due to the elevator corridor. The challenge is how to create a united workspace to connect staff. The solution is to design a big multifunctional space to support employees' discussion/ relaxation and organize big events to strengthen the company culture. The other part serves as the workstation where staff fulfills their tasks with a variety of facilities, tools and equipment.
