Mild interruptions don't seem like a big deal to managers, and the nature of their jobs means that they'll place constant communication far above quiet, focused, uninterrupted work. The above is the case for flipping the "current" model on it's head: put the folks whose job it is to constantly communicate in the open space, and give the folks who need quiet, focused, uninterrupted work time in offices with doors. It's an extremely hard sell for a culture that rewards status with corner offices, but it definitely _seems_ like the right thing to do. Edit: formatting!
