Sometimes, when we create something, we wonder why it\u2019s never been done before. Especially as we often hear that every supposed new invention is a re-hash of old ideas. So we think: perhaps we\u2019ve misjudged the situation entirely, and it can\u2019t be done? Maybe it was so blindingly obvious everyone thought someone else would do it, so it wasn\u2019t worth starting, but nobody did? We just ask an AI to set it out for us? Or, possibly, we\u2019ve all been too busy doing it to write about doing it?<\/p>\n

In this instance, it\u2019s the journey from a twinkle of an idea to a finished, fully operating workspace. It just doesn\u2019t exist. Which is quite something, given how many workspaces have been created, and are in progress even as we read this.<\/p>\n

Overlaid on every unique situation are a multitude of phased flowcharts, and at the table are arrayed the required professions with decades of experience and stories to tell, ready to gather more. But very often, especially with small or medium sized enterprises, the client has never done this before. And to them, all those flowcharts laid end to end seem to lead back to today. It can be a scary place. There\u2019s usually a lot of optimism, excitement and money at stake<\/p>\n

Formed from over a half a century of combined experience, and illustrated with true stories of learning the hard way, Workspace Made Easy<\/em>, out in July 2024 (published by Routledge), sets out the whole journey, star to finish, in plain and simple jargon-free language. It\u2019s as much for those running their first workspace project, needing a guide every step of the way, as it is for those leading their hundredth, requiring some clarity.<\/p>\n

So while in this book there are no new paradigms or panaceas, no concepts or big ideas, no theories or predictions, that the book now exists is entirely new. It doesn\u2019t say what we should have, but how we get what we need. So that we can concentrate on the interesting stuff.<\/p>\n

Of course, we could have misjudged the situation entirely, and should never have attempted it. Or, it could just be the best 0.001% of the project budget you ever spent. Creating fantastic workspace may just be that easy.<\/p>\n
