To facilitate collaboration among teams, offices should be designed with agile spaces that encourage formal, informal, and remote interactions. Design elements like studios and café-style seating enhance creativity and teamwork. Organizations can leverage data analytics and real-time sensor technology to maximize space utilization, optimize building operations, manage energy usage efficiently, and enhance the overall office experience for employees.
