That's what Ralph de Amicis does, he moves office furniture around the stage to demonstrate how each arrangement affects personal performance and team interaction. This entertaining 'show and tell' explains how to make small changes that yield significant improvements. This visual, three dimensional approach holds the audiences attention while bypassing resistance, so participants come away with new tools that feel like the dance steps of success.

The Reasons Today's Organizations need Highly Motivated Design
There is power in the way we shape our workplace when we do that with a clear purpose. It is a tool that every leader needs to use. The old office design rules that were developed when workers were tied to a location for an entire career have been blown apart by dramatic changes in office technology. Today's information management systems allow people to change workplaces with greater frequency; it's a lot easier to move a laptop than a half ton of filing cabinets. Workers need to create or adapt new work environments often, and few know how to do that in a way that maximizes their talents.
This skill gap results in increased stress, wasted time, fuzzy focus, indifferent cooperation, poor skill development, lack of commitment, insipid morale, employee fraud, increased sick time and the inability to retain quality personnel! How many of these problems have crept into the corners of today's organizations? We do a high energy, multi-media presentation that unfolds across the stage in a series of practical demonstrations.
Using desk and chairs, door and windows, and an array of common office tools, we cover the ABC's for making offices function at a higher level of effectiveness. The presentation is filled with movement, interaction, props and slides that engage the audience and hold their attention. They come away with a check list ready to make personal improvements.
Questions that the presentation answers:
What helps the team get up to speed faster? What creates a smoothly functioning organization? Which desk positions enhance communication and cooperation? How do you get people to listen to you? How to reduce debilitating stress while increasing personal performance? How imbue the team with the company mission? How to make these changes easily? How does positioning affect ethical behavior?
