There may be times when the answer to a problem is not known.It’s important to acknowledge that, and to trust that working together will lead to the best solution..

There are other benefits as well.Swapping one's normal, corporate working environment for a more interesting design office, liberates thinking and democratises the process.Remote working too creates more equality in status.

At Bryden Wood, we dedicated an entire floor of our office to collaborative working.We provided free office space to our clients and subject matter experts.

It created a dynamic, exciting environment, full of serendipitous moments and buzz.
