The problem is, it’s often too late to act by the time others’ innovation has crept into your market share.

Office design matters for innovation. . Without enough light, water, or the right mix of nutrients, a plant might live, but it may grow poorly, have droopy leaves and refuse to bloom. Similarly, your workers need certain things to thrive. You want your employees to bloom, don’t you? That’s why your office design matters. All manner of stimuli — or lack thereof — can get in the way of fostering an environment that promotes innovation.
