Side of Design - Bringing Spaces to Life Through Interior Design
play

03/21/23 • 34 min

Interior design has a massive impact on the way we interact with the spaces around us. It involves macro-level factors (like layout) all the way down to the details (like the finish on drawer pulls).

That’s a lot to take on, and it takes talented, dedicated professionals to make it work.

Side of Design - The Next Evolution: Scenario Planning
play

02/16/21 • 33 min

In this episode, we’re talking about the Next Evolution: Scenario Planning.

Why an evolution?

The pandemic exposed gaps to the way our industry planned campuses and facilities, from hospitals to academic centers.

Traditionally, a master planning process guided project developments, driven by both vision and an assumption that the future would reflect more of a normal operational environment.

The pandemic upended any sort of normality, but it also showed where that traditional master planning process failed to help organizations navigate through deviations from normality.

Scenario Planning evolves that approach, looking at an organization’s operations through various lenses to create options that promote resiliency through various scenarios.

Talking about Scenario Planning, what it is and how it can be applied to organizations, especially those in health care, are three people who bring unique lenses to the subject.

Sophia Skemp is a medical planner and architect who has provided planning and programming services for regional and critical access hospitals and ambulatory centers across the Plains and Upper Midwest. She has a master’s degree in architecture, with her studies crossing the boundaries between design research and health care architecture.

Mike Boldenow is a principal at BWBR with more than three decades of work with health care organizations and corporations creating campuses and facilities that elevate operations and help organizations effectively serve their stakeholders.

David Voller is senior operational planner who brings experience as a facilitator and operations leader with a demonstrated history working inside health systems evaluating operations, revenue, strategic goals and building cultures.
