Development and Implementation of a Workplace Pilot
Background
Billard Leece Partnership (BLP) are an Australian wide Architectural practice who specialise in the health & education sectors.Following the covid lockdowns when staff were provided with the technology to ‘design from home’, BLP prioritised the development of a strategic focus on how the organisation should operate in the post-covid medium-to-long-term to maintain and nurture BLP’s culture while ensuring it’s strategic and business goals were met.
BLP's challenge was to define a way of working including the tools, processes and leadership that would support the "future BLP".
Our role
TGB were engaged to develop an organisational workplace strategy, which included:
- Deep Dive into the organisation and a diagnosis of existing challenges
- Interview clients and staff to understand the current state
- Gap analysis of existing state compared to the strategy and aspirational state
- Develop a strategy to support "Future BLP"
The organisational strategy then resulted in the creation and implementation of a workplace pilot to trial and test the strategic concepts in both the Melbourne & Sydney studios, which included:
- Assessment of behaviours, space and information flow
- Change and Comms to support the pilot
- Development of processes to test and trial
- Data collection and analysis
- Stakeholder Engagement at C Suite level and across the organisation
The solutions
- An organisational workplace strategy that defined and considered an Ecosystem in which BLP’s people worked
- The development of a Workplace Activity framework that was the basis for how people at BLP work, meet and communicate (the flow of information)
- A workplace pilot to test the Workplace Activity Framework
