When a Design Practice or Corporate Real Estate business undertake a workplace strategy, they usually have one overarching objective...

And that is to turn the strategy into a physical project, because that is where they will make the majority of their fees. That does not automatically mean they will not do a good job or give good advice. But it does mean they can be conflicted in the advice that they give. Next Workplace do not have those conflicts as we are not seeking to turn the strategy consulting into a larger physical project. We give truly independent advice.

Our advice to a client may be to stay where they are and not undertake a lot of work or spend a lot of money. It may be to reduce their footprint. We will give the advice that we believe is in the client’s best interests.
