facilitating private meetings but everyday operations take place with everyone working in a same
room. This has become modern design for facilitating innovation as well as creativity. Many of
the co-working spaces emerged showing ability to work along with network at the same time.
Case study:
Airbnb has started to implement this open plan office concept in the organization. It
offers a platform to connect the users to open offices, desks and team rooms. This has given the
digital workers and freelancers to go work in a new approach for working. it can be e hard to get
the works done in the own room apartment but finding space in the library or coffee shop for
working helps in a relaxed environment (Coworkingresources.org, 2020).
In the case of DBS Bank, office cubicles are rapidly disappearing and the managers are
opting for Open Office concept. This is breaking down the social barriers in one hand and
encouraging more collaboration among the workers from different teams. In this Bank different
departments have sitting arrangements together that supports perfect blend of open and closed
space for accommodating every needs (Dbs.com.sg, 2020). For instance the departments like
marketing and sales work closely together therefore has an open workspace concept to encourage
the exchange of concepts and ideas. On the other hand the departments like business analytics,
programmers and engineers need quiet personal workspace for working out business solutions or
algorithms.
