Let us be inspired by others

Businesses today are far more competitive than just 20 years ago. A company simply must see itself as an organism that constantly learn new things and new behaviors. Therefore, you should keep an eye on some industries and how its companies look at their working environment.

We do not believe modern businesses can learn us all about how schools will utilize the physical environment or design but we are convinced that we have much to be inspired by in their strategies.
In Sweden, knowledge-intensive firms has invested hard in their working environment. Companies like Skype, Google and Microsoft are often noted in media for their modern environment that support employees in being more effective.It is clear that they see the environment as a tool to achieve optimal results in the processes they engage in as a company.  

Municipalities and owners of independent schools should consider the same mindset now when we are about to face an even bigger challenge, namely he change in how we learn, share and collaborate in the world today and tomorrow. 

It is of course not enough to replace the chairs to more colorful, we need to link what we know about learning in our time with how the environment can support it fully to get a true Learning Environment.

That´s what drives us in our projects here at RAU.
