Decision signal
If you want to work more methodically with workplace strategy, but notice that the work often stops at inspiration, generic advice or vague processes, that is a clear sign that you need a stronger methodological foundation.
A research-based and practical view of workplace strategy
Aram holds a PhD in work and organisational psychology, with a research focus on how different office types and ways of working affect health, performance, concentration and wellbeing. He is also a licensed psychologist, a business graduate and certified in Prosci Change Management.
This academic foundation is central to his teaching. Workplace strategy should not be based on trends, opinions or generic assumptions. It should be based on an understanding of the work, the organisation, the people, the physical environment and the change that needs to happen.
At the same time, the perspective is highly practical. A workplace strategy must be usable. It should help organisations make decisions, define requirements, prioritise between alternatives and create a clear path forward.
From research to methodology
Aram’s research has explored the relationship between office environments, work tasks, individual differences, performance and wellbeing. He has published several peer-reviewed scientific articles on offices, health, performance, distraction, demanding cognitive tasks, sickness absence and activity-based work environments.
He has translated that research perspective into methods, tools and processes for practical workplace strategy work. In his teaching, the focus is on how to move from questions to data, from data to analysis, from analysis to strategy and from strategy to implementation.
Workplace Adequacy™ as a tool for clearer analysis
Aram has developed Workplace Adequacy™, a framework and analysis-based approach for assessing how well a workplace supports organisational needs and employee work.
In an educational context, the framework makes workplace strategy more concrete. It helps participants move from broad ideas to clear questions, areas of analysis and practical conclusions. It also helps avoid one of the most common mistakes in office development: creating more space for meetings and collaboration while weakening the conditions for focus.
Practical experience from complex projects
Alongside research and teaching, Aram has extensive experience as an advisor and consultant. He has supported both public and private organisations in developing and implementing workplace strategy, analysing workplace needs, defining future office solutions, supporting leadership teams and carrying out change processes.
That makes the learning experience relevant for professionals who need to lead workplace projects, advise clients, support internal change processes or strengthen their own role as workplace strategists. The practical experience gives the training a clarity that is hard to achieve through theory alone.
Who is Aram’s teaching for?
