Office Spotlight: Innosight’s Innovative Spaces

adminBlog

Scroll down for more photos of the company’s sleek new offices in Lexington, MA

Growth strategy firm Innosight focuses on helping organizations design and create the future, rather than being disrupted by it. So it should come as no surprise that when it came to designing their own new office as they moved from Watertown to Lexington in 2011, the team at Innosight wanted to ensure that their space reflected their organizational values and culture.

The move to Lexington also gave the growing firm an opportunity to create a sophisticated environment that reflected its innovation leadership.

“We wanted a clean, modern feel in the new space,” says Kristen Blake, senior marketing manager at Innosight. The office has been described as reminiscent of an Apple store, the white, modern aesthetic and proliferation of clear glass quite literally reflective of Innosight’s transparency values.

They also focused on subtlety in their design, providing a powerful visual impact but not interrupting the creative process and innovative thinking and work taking place at Innosight.

Different workspaces that suit different tasks

But what’s perhaps most interesting about Innosight’s design is the sheer variety of working areas available. As experts have discussed on this blog before, creating a variety of workspaces that suit different tasks is the new “open office space,” and Innosight is an amazing example of this.

Innosight’s unique spaces include the Business Design Lab, a flexible conference-style space that hosts everything from internal meetings to CEO Summits. They also host a creative wing called the Teal Wing that features Legos, tricycles and colorful couches and carpets to spark inspiration and the “Tunnel,” an open meeting space with a whiteboard wall that provides the chance for passers-by to chime into meetings. Team Rooms that are dedicated to a specific project and provide a confidential, locked space for work and meetings.

Of course, no amazing workspace is complete without a great kitchen – here, the InnoCafe features a stocked fridge, LeanBox, and flat screen TV, and an on-site gym with twice-a-week training sessions, equipment, a music system and its own locker room. When the weather’s warm, employees migrate outside to picnic benches, Adirondack chairs and a patio with a grill.

Today, Innosight has 100 employees, with 75 people right in the Lexington office, and takes up 30,000 square feet on two floors.

“We get a tremendous reaction from people about this building,” says Blake. “Clients want a tour when they walk in the door. People who work here say it’s refreshing to be in the space, opting to come into the office rather than work from home.”

Flexibility for maximum creativity

Team rooms for concentrated project work

Innosight Team Rooms

Because of the nature of their work, Innosight employees often seek privacy and confidentiality as they work on projects. The company answered this need with a set of Team Rooms. Each provides a private, dedicated space for a particular conference and access is locked and restricted when it’s empty, providing a place to leave materials. (Photo Credit: Robert Benson)

An Informal Meeting Space

Innosight Tunnel

The Innosight Tunnel provides an informal, café-style meeting space for collaboration and brainstorming, often from unexpected sources. Located in a high-traffic area, the Tunnel allows for informal surveying of colleagues as they walk by, whiteboard brainstorming or just a place to get out of the office for a change of scenery.

Fueling up at the InnoCafe

Balanced Living at the Innosight Gym

Aside from workout machines and equipment, the gym has its own locker rooms, a TV and music system. Twice a week, trainers come in to work with willing Innosight staffers.
