How to create offices that give people superpowers
The ingredients for neuro-inclusive spaces
David O’Coimin, CEO of The DO Company joins Bold Founder, Caleb Parker, to discuss the ingredients of neuro-inclusive spaces, and his workspace invention called Nook.
As Space moves from product to service, it’s crucial that we understand our customers and we put them at the center of the universe. Employees have never been more empowered to tell their companies what they want from their workplace like they are today. When we have the choice, we’re only going to work in an office if that’s where we do our best work.
So it's important to create spaces that give people superpowers, and companies agility.
In this episode David explains the difference between hyper-sensitive and hypo-sensitive people, and why this matters to creating a desired user experience.
We learn about the most important work setting, and how the DO Company makes furniture for offices without having an office themselves.
