Our Services

Your business. Your brand. Your people.

Utilizing a set of proprietary tools to discover the unique needs of your organization, we’re able to recommend floorplate and furniture solutions that enable each of your teams to do their best work. Because the office of tomorrow isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.

After an initial listening session, we will engage your employees with our Strategic Spaces Survey to understand their jobs and how they work best. Don’t worry though, we don’t ask them what they want. We determine what they need.

Ways to engage.

Corporations

Flexible work can be great for culture, but it can be difficult to manage as a leader of an organization. It prompts questions about how much real estate you need, how to plan your space, how to motivate employees to come into the office, and the list goes on. NextLab has proprietary discovery tools to help you make data-driven business decisions about your workplace. We ask smart questions upfront to truly understand your unique culture and the needs of your employees. We provide recommendations on workplace improvements, furniture solutions to optimize the employee experience, as well as suggesting architecture and design partners to execute your plan.

Architecture & Design

Our friends in A&D are smart and strategic, doing discovery work with clients and often deploying employee surveys of their own. NextLab can complement that work by providing a faster go-to-market strategy for furniture solutions. Our front-end process can be executed in just 2-3 weeks, providing data that allows you to design spaces that meet the unique needs of an organization, much earlier than the traditional process. NextLab takes a people-centric approach that drives toward furniture solutions, allowing A&D to focus on the holistic design development solution.
