hero We don't leap tall buildings in a single bound -
we do make what's inside buildings better.
Services we provide our clients include:
Holistic Ergonomics
Our approach to ergonomics goes beyond the "nuts and bolts" of devices to include the both the physical and the cognitive side of work. Our solutions analyze and adapt the tasks, tools, technology and workplace to fit the users and maximize performance.
Workplace Evaluation + Strategy
We often find ourselves at the forefront of the evolution workplaces from bullpens and large private offices to open plan and cubicles, to alternative workplaces, hotelling, and telecommuting. We help client organizations determine their functional requirements, develop alternatives, implement solutions and assess impact. Activities include workplace evaluation, pre-programming, programming, strategic facility planning and individual ergonomic worksite evaluations. Using an array of tools to collect and interpret information from and about users and their work behavior, the resulting functional requirements define effective design concepts. This approach yields high performance, high technology workplaces that work.
Product Evaluation + Design
We have patented several products for use in high technology workplaces. We work with manufacturers, product designers and end users of workplace products. We provide:
Applied Research
All consulting is knowledge based. We have the skills and expertise necessary to go beyond consulting and conduct scientific investigations and empirical research. Research projects range from studies of performance and productivity to market potential models; from the design, development and testing of information models of complex systems to technology impact studies. We also write research proposals and secure funding through grants and government contracts.
Education + Training
We have developed and provided many education and training sessions ranging from one-hour CEU sessions to multi-day workshops to entire multi-course curricula.
Workplace Change Management
Changing a person's workplace is one of the most significant disruptive occurrences they will experience at work. Work environments affect behavior, health, well being, satisfaction and performance. The success or failure of workplace change is directly related to the degree those workers most affected are informed and involved. We work with clients to develop and implement effective workplace change programs to insure acceptance and success.
