Bio

Donna Denio was helping architects with marketing and business development, and one area targeted for firm growth and expansion was the workplace of the future. The book Excellence by Design, Transforming Workplace and Work Practice, based on work from a research group at MIT, contains many interesting ideas on the future of work, workspaces, and work tools. The book introduces the idea of using design games to reduce or eliminate inherent conflict when people of unequal power have conflicting interests. The design game is "draped over the existing organization with its ongoing game of interests and powers."
