1. Description of the challenge

Robin Radar Systems is experiencing significant growth, increasing its workforce by over 50% in a year, which requires extensive onboarding, team restructuring, and spatial adjustments. This growth, while exciting, can challenge team cohesion, particularly as departments may become isolated across separate buildings. This setup risks weakening interdepartmental connections as individuals may gravitate towards their own teams and familiar routines.

Goal:

  • Improve interdepartmental collaboration and create a stronger sense of unity.
  • Develop a floor plan that encourages cross-departmental interaction.
  • Preserve company culture while fostering connections within a scale-up environment.

Context: Rapid growth often leads to fragmented communication as teams adapt to a larger, more segmented workspace. Robin Radar Systems wants to ensure that employees maintain a collaborative spirit and open communication channels, even across separate buildings. This requires rethinking the physical layout and introducing strategies to encourage interaction.

2. Expected outcome

An optimized office layout and collaboration strategy will help Robin Radar Systems sustain productivity and camaraderie across departments, ensuring its culture and team spirit remain strong amid expansion.
