Solutions
Business Interiors introduced workplace solutions to Ziglar Training Systems. The full-service office furniture dealership put together a team of professionals from five of their service areas to help Ziglar Training Systems solve its problems.
"We were fascinated with the idea that Business Interiors offers
coordinated services from top to bottom." RICHARD OATES - Executive Vice President of Ziglar Training Systems
Business Interiors' designers chose furniture concepts based on the way each of Ziglar's departments worked, customizing a work environment for every employee. They also selected colors, finishes, upholstery and paneling fabrics, and carpeting.
Space planners worked with the architect and contractor to allow more light and to create an open area with department modules clustered like villages. The project manager coordinated all aspects of the job, acting as liaison between the contractor and Ziglar Training Systems. The installation manager planned every detail of the actual move-in - details that included the timely arrival of furnishings on five semi-trailers and the supervision of 11 men working 9.8 hours a day for four days.
Results
Business Interiors' Workplace Solutions Team facilitated every stage of Ziglar Training Systems' move, achieving results that far exceeded the company's expectations. And the ideas that the Team brought to Ziglar Training Systems inspired the company to examine the way it operated, becoming more streamlined, more effective.
"There's a difference between efficiency and effectiveness.
To do work that's vibrant, you have to focus on the effective."
TOM ZIGLAR - CEO of Ziglar Training Systems
"The team gave us a menu of terrific ideas. All we had to do was 'point and click'." RICHARD OATES - Executive Vice President of Ziglar Training Systems
