Space for thought: one grey box | with Jeremy Myerson
📣 Audiem has been nominated for three IWFM 2024 Impact Awards, two in partnership with NatWest. Read the success story here⚡️
After another quick dip into the mailbag, Chris and Ian talk to WORKTECH Academy director, author and activist, professor emeritus Jeremy Myerson, about his award-winning research paper from 2011, ‘Space for thought: designing for knowledge workers’ (co-authored with lead-researcher Catherine Greene). The conversation explores the value of creative workplace research approaches, and includes practical advice for inspired listeners. James is back for a PinderPonder™ that also includes a brief debate about outsourcing your ironing.
Novel research techniques, like drawing to elicit visual data, provide user-centric approaches that can unlock surprising workplace insights. But it’s also easy to overlook smaller qualitative studies, in a world where big datasets and statistical analyses often attract the most attention. Yet their value to bring deeper insights about why people work and feel as they do can be used to complement and counterpoint the more common - and typically shallower - what data.
