The Engine of Prosperity!

“Whoever said that pleasure wasn’t functional?!” – Charles Eames

When you get great people in a beautiful functional space, magic unfolds. Creative spaces are a real passion that i have.  I was recently attending a presentation on Herman Miller concept of the Living Office, which is a human centered approach to the workplace,  part of the presentation was the chart of the engine of prosperity.  It describes elements of what makes work thrive – feeling good when you come to work and feeling pride and sense of the community is essential…

Prosperity is generated when the following elements come into a dynamic equilibrium:

= Passion of both the individual and the Organization.

= The needs of the individual, for example those laid down in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

= The desire of the individual to generate income and an Organization to create profit.

= The needs of the workforce and the Organization.
