I want to hang a painting in my office conference room, but I don't know how to choose one...
I want to work in a stylish and creative office!
We will show you 10 characteristics of a creative office along with simulation photos of an office with pictures hung in it.
By seeing how they are actually displayed, you may find it easier to imagine how they would look in your own office.

So, what exactly are the characteristics of a creative office?
Let's consider them based on the "12 Knowledge Creation Behaviors" based on the "SECI Model" proposed by management scholar Ikujiro Nonaka.

(1) Stimulate each other's Socialization - Stagger around

One example is to create zigzag corridors in the office to encourage interaction with people who are not directly related to the department they are in charge of.
It can be said to embody a different kind of system from the conventional "department manager manages subordinates" system that has been spatialized.

Socialization - People interacting with each other

For example, a coffee area can be created where people can chat over a cup of coffee, or the office can be structured in such a way that the entire office can be seen.
Creating a space where all members can always share the overall atmosphere is essential for creativity.
Also, having art on the walls has the benefit of soothing and inspiring.

(3) Bringing ideas to the surface Externalization - Chatting and brainstorming

A meeting booth that is easily accessible to anyone at any time and allows for vocal discussion would facilitate light discussion.

(4) Bringing ideas to the surface Externalization - Drawing pictures and examples

Whiteboards and whiteboard walls can be set up, and some are sold with markers that can be used directly on the desk.
The goal is to create an atmosphere that stimulates casual conversation.

(5) Combination - researching, analyzing, editing, and accumulating

It is also important to create an environment where people can concentrate on their work, or a space dedicated to concentrated contemplation.
Communication and careful contemplation of the content to be communicated in the preliminary stage of communication are both essential. Both are essential activities.

(6) Combination - Serious discussion

It is possible to maintain a moderate level of tension if there is a place for serious discussions on a regular basis as a presentation venue.
A business meeting space with a presentation-friendly environment is also essential.

(7) Combination - Getting examined and listened to

Combination includes consulting with superiors, colleagues, and subordinates, and asking for support in making decisions for which one's own skills are insufficient.

Internalization - trying it out

If you are in the business of creating products, it is essential to have a space where you can make prototypes, so that you can give shape to your ideas at any time.
In order to pick up the best part of any possibility, the office must be designed to pick it up from the structure of the office.

Internalization - Practice

We need to have a chance to put what we understand theoretically into practical action. By practicing, making mistakes, and analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to understand how theory and your skills fit together.

Internalization - deepening understanding

While implementing the PDCA cycle, it is important to give creativity space in between.
The creation of a space that makes this possible is required for an original and creative office.
