Particularly, teams using agile and design thinking practices need to be able to change how they work over time. So, we thought about this through a new lens,\u201d says Bill Bennie, design director. By studying the diverse behaviors of these teams, the designers hit on the idea of creating an <strong>interconnected system<\/strong> that <strong>supports the activities<\/strong> of the <strong>larger team as well as individual work<\/strong>. They created the Steelcase Flex Collection \u2014 <strong>moveable desks, tables, whiteboards, carts, space dividers and accessories<\/strong> that can be rearranged on-demand by anyone to create environments for teams and individuals to do their best work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cInstead of one new thing, we ended up <strong>creating pieces that all move and work together<\/strong> to let people <strong>reconfigure their space<\/strong> in a matter of minutes.
