En Workplace strategy education and methodology
Workplace strategy becomes valuable when it helps organisations make better decisions about work, people, space and change. Dr. Aram Seddigh brings research, methodology and practical project experience together to help professionals do exactly that.
Aram is a workplace strategist, researcher, author and educator with a PhD in work and organisational psychology. For many years, he has helped organisations understand how offices, ways of working and change processes affect performance, wellbeing, collaboration and organisational development.
Through Workplace Strategist, an education platform for professionals working with workplace strategy, he teaches participants how to structure the work from the first questions to data collection, analysis, recommendations, implementation and follow-up.
Workplace Strategist makes workplace strategy practical. Research, methodology and delivery experience are translated into a learning format that helps participants work with stronger decision logic, clearer analysis and more structured implementation.
Key takeaways
- Learn workplace strategy as both a field of knowledge and a practical discipline.
- Understand how to move from organisational needs to evidence-informed recommendations.
- Build a clearer method for data collection, analysis, stakeholder dialogue, strategy development and change.
When methodology matters
If workplace projects often start with ambition but become difficult to structure, prioritise or translate into decisions, that is a sign that a stronger methodological foundation is needed.
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 built on trends, opinions or generic assumptions. It should be based on a structured 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 define requirements, prioritise between alternatives, support leadership decisions and create a clear path from analysis to implementation.
From research to workplace strategy 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.
The process
Define the right questions → collect relevant data → interpret findings → formulate recommendations → support implementation → follow up and refine.
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, relevant areas of analysis and practical conclusions that can guide decisions.
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 concentration, individual work and cognitively demanding tasks.
Practical experience from complex workplace 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 project experience gives the training a level of clarity that is difficult to achieve through theory alone.
