In doing so, we individually analyze the requirements of our clients: What are the economic and organizational processes that characterize their business environment? With our own unique method - called Performance Shifting – we generate detailed analytic models of organization and building structure. Based on this method customized real estate concepts, for new construction and remodeling, are being developed.

Some of the important components of Performance-Shifting are: How complex are working processes, what kind of variations exist, how obvious are they, what is their pace - and after all, how is their relation to spatial structure, room setup and team structures? How is the interaction of work processes and information technology working: What kind of database systems, groupware and workflow systems support the work pattern? What is taking place within the realms of teams in terms of synergies, motivation and communication? What are the requirements of employees in regards to their emotions and needs - and how can architecture support their performance?

Based on this comprehensive approach we develop new working environments that are of high performance. They enhance profit and improve the businesses ability to compete.

KOP supports businesses to optimize their surrounding conditions for knowledge work. Our strength is to develop customized solutions for spatial and technical requirements to fundamentally raise the performance of employees.

Skill-intensive work patterns are complex and can hardly be standardized in predetermined processes. In addition they are highly personalized and communicative and often organized in interdisciplinary teams. Most often the procedures of the workflow are being executed by self-managed employees. Characteristically this goes along with a highly spatial mobility and temporal flexibility.

Information and communication equipment of work places and its periphery are of great importance in regards to the workflow. Studies show that acoustic, thermal and visual comforts of spaces have a great impact on the productivity of its users. Good designs of working environments create an adequate atmosphere and stimulate motivation and empathy.

We support businesses to cope with the requirements of new working environments so that they are able to achieve their long term strategic objectives. In this field KOP is one of the innovation leaders in Germany.

These models allow for illustrating complex spatial structures and processes and to impart analysis in an understandable manner. Together with our clients we develop optimized interrelations of process flows, employees and building structures. Three-dimensional models of organizational structure are an excellent tool to develop customized working environments step by step.

The KOP consultancy includes building related modelling of the organization, creating work flow concepts as well as the visualization of processes. Long before building measures take place, all tools contribute to a precise planning to satisfy the actual demands and thereby to achieve cost efficiency.

For a successful transition it is mandatory, that the affected employees are being embedded at an early stage of the development and that they support the changes.

Therefore, besides our expertise, we put our focus on responsibility and social skills, when interacting with clients and their employees. With many years of experience in change management, we use its selected instruments to establish understanding for the upcoming change. KOP accompanies its clients with a target group oriented approach and individual strategies for communication from the very beginning until the completed implementation.
