About Course

Workplace Strategist Diploma is a practical, evidence-based programme for professionals who want to develop a stronger, more credible approach to workplace strategy.

Rather than relying on trends or generic office concepts, you will learn how to analyse ways of working, interpret organisational needs, and translate those insights into workplace decisions that are strategically grounded and easier to implement.

Throughout the programme, you will work with the Workplace Adequacy™ Framework, key concepts in workplace strategy, and a set of practical methods and tools that help you move from insight to recommendation. The course is designed for consultants as well as in-house professionals such as workplace leads, corporate real estate managers, facilities directors, HR and people leaders, employee experience managers, architects, and related professionals who want a clearer structure for developing workplace strategies in practice.

What this programme includes

  • Different ways of working and what they mean for workplace strategy
  • Role differences in workplace strategy, project management and change management
  • Workplace strategy for one-site and multi-site organisations
  • The Workplace Adequacy™ Framework and its five principles
  • Methods and tools for developing a workplace strategy
  • Change management and workplace transition
  • An introduction to implementation and follow-up as the natural next step after strategy development

When you complete the course and pass the required quizzes, you will receive your Workplace Strategist Diploma. For those who want to continue beyond the diploma, the programme also creates a strong foundation for implementation, follow-up and future certification.

How the course runs

  • 4 digital check-insAt the start and as you finish
  • Group or one to oneDepending on who books

The programme is e-learning: you work through it online, in your own time, and there is no fixed start date.

Four digital check-ins are offered alongside it: at the start, to get going with the method, and towards the end, as you complete the course. Sessions are announced in advance and you book the ones that suit you.

They run as a small group, or one to one if you are the only participant booked for that slot.

The check-ins are there to be used rather than required – you can complete the programme without them.
