The outmost goal for all design, production and
provision of product and services is USABILITY*.
If you are a designer in Architecture or other
areas, if you are a Facility Manager or in Human Relation or in
Learning and if you provide services to companies or customers you
might find something on this site.
If you have your daily work in one of today's
fast changing companies or if your company is about to undergo a
major change, this site might give you useful insight in how to
understand and have an impact on what is going on.
If you are managing a company and need to create
new working conditions that support the staffs creativity,
learning, productivity or attitudes, you might also be interested
in this site.
This site has a number of sections:
1) DESIGN for CHANGE
that is actually about design and management of
workplaces. Most of the material is so far from my own practice and research,
but you will also find material from other researchers work
including lists of publications and material to download,
2) CONCEPTO that is a
tool for brainstorming,
3) USABILITY of
WORKPLACES that will report
results from an international research project that I have
participated on for a number of years,
6)
WORK-LIFE BALANCE is about anything that makes life easier and
more pleasant and finally
7)
USEFUL LINKS will take you to other websites related to the
content of this site.
* To those who are
offended by this and think I am one of those boring guys who does
not appreciate artistic skills and beauty I will say that in my
opinion aesthetical as well as ethical qualities are among those
things that makes things usable.
