AnchorsConnectors Collectors Navigators
ANCHORS• spend all their days in the office, doing
most of their work while sitting behind their desks
• ergonomic solutions play an important role in the design of anchors’ workstations
• as many of the tasks require concentration there should not be any sources of distraction in the surroundings
CONNECTORS• spend half their working days in different
premises of the organisation, such as conference rooms, cafes and at their colleagues’ workstations
• a connector’s workstation must contribute to interaction and collaboration and in its design consideration should be given to virtual links and the physical space itself
• the workstation must provide a venue for brainstorming and planning sessions and it must also be possible to leave marks of this work, such as wall boards describing different stages of a project
COLLECTORS• are responsible for the organisation’s
relationship with the outside world
• spend at least half their working week in meetings with customers, in other offices of the organisation or in what are called third places, such as cafes and clubs
• the office provides them with an important fixture around which their working week revolves
• a collector’s workstation must be suited for both efficient interaction and concentration
NAVIGATORS• are often the key persons of the
organisation and they have extensive responsibilities
• in their own office, navigators are considered as ‘visitors’
• the office must be flexible and it must be possible to set up the workstation quickly and easily
• premises solutions also help to achieve a situation where navigators do not consider themselves as ‘undesired visitors’
