Workshops
Active workshops have unique agendas
designed to optimize employee engagement and yield the greatest design outcomes. The content
uses carefully curated precedents and imagery as an efficient catalyst towards extracting
group-aligned visioning – adding an essential collaboratively-derived layer of information to
our toolbox for analysis and recommendations.
Analysis
The unique analytical typologies PLASTARC
has developed pushes our metrics for space far beyond the traditional square footage and simple
program catalog and into measurable behavioral and temporal realms as well – essential layers
for being critical of the effectiveness of existing spaces and planning for the future.
Interviews
PLASTARC’s four-pronged approach to
comprehensive interviewing ensures qualitative discoveries at each level of interaction within
the company, as well as a holistic view of the individual drivers and key focus of each user
group. Our tailored set of topics digs into those indispensable aspects that may prove to be key
players in the process, yet not have the opportunity to emerge through tools such as the surveys
and workshops.
Observation and Occupancy
Our tested methodologies for observation and
occupancy metrics aligned with client-specific input make for a uniquely comprehensive analysis.
The level of rigor with which PLASTARC’s particular Observation Studies are conducted (both in
terms of data point counts throughout the day and nuanced activity categories) paired with the
additional layers of data collection and validation through existing client systems (such as
badge swipes) ensure we’re positioned for a holistic analysis of how and when people are using
the spaces.
Surveys
Our surveys are strategically crafted tools
that utilize reframing tactics to extract often qualitative data in a raw, analyzable form. The
digital implementation of our unique survey architecture allows us to dig down on key facets
when responses trigger it without being overwhelming to the user – ensuring a comprehensive and
tailored, yet user-friendly collection of qualitative and quantitative data for comparison and
tracking.
