I think open offices are mostly based on extroverts logic, i.e. they think it forces more introverted people to communicate more, supports the team spirit and that it is super awsome to solve problems by just talking to the person sitting next to you.
- bunderbunder 8y agoMore fundamentally, there's an assumption that more talk = more collaboration. I've found the opposite tends to be true. Person-to-person talk is inefficient and tends to promote siloing. Email and (well planned) meetings help people stay on the same page, which makes it easier for them to work co-operatively. And it gets you there with less actual time spent communicating.
