Abstract: Business leaders have an opportunity to transform their companies when they work in close collaboration with their architects and can be important partners in the redesign of their company with results that directly impact employee satisfaction, corporate image, efficiency and quality of products and services. This paper describes how innovative design processes were utilised by the appointed architects in partnership with Si.mobil to achieve: improved employee health and wellbeing, increased operational flexibility, an innovative environment, more optimum arrangement of functions, improved corporate image and a more fun place to work. The project was completed on 4th November, 2013 and comprised the renovation, restructuring and remodelling of Si.mobil's 4,000m2 headquarters in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The extensive changes in the company's workspace led directly to an improvement in morale and productivity among Si.mobil employees. This project was not only about transforming the Si.mobil space, but also about transforming corporate culture. In this paper detailed information is presented regarding the initial steps of the project, what was needed to get on track, how the architects worked with the team at Si.mobil throughout the project to ensure everything ran smoothly and what was done after the project to determine how successful the changes were for the client at all levels of the organisation.
