combine workLAB: Back to Office: How Offices Become Identity-forming, Cultural Hubs

Welcome to the combine LAB!

For three days, combine Consulting will open its most entertaining pop-up office at the Work Culture Festival. Become part of the team and join us in tackling the big and small questions about the future of our working and living spaces.

In the combine workLAB you can experience a consultant’s day up close and get creative!
Consultants from combine Consulting will bring real projects to the library in Hall 6 and let you experience the development process – from briefing and brainstorming to process and quality checks and conception. The focus of the workshop is on the combine Consulting panel topic of the morning: Alexandra Saisnith, Volker Widdra and Bettina Herold show 

  • how offices become identity-forming, cultural reference hubs 
  • what it takes to bring employees back to the office
  • how adaptable corporate cultures and structures can be created that offer employees freedom and self-determination in choosing their place of work and at the same time provide companies with major advantages in terms of flexibility.

Immerse yourself in the everyday life of a consultant and take away valuable insights for your own work organisation!
