Macro to Micro - the human experience

From an organisational standpoint, Macro strategies encompass overarching decisions that influence the entire business structure. This could involve comprehensive sustainability practices, global market expansion, or large-scale technological integrations. In the built environment, Macro extends to architectural choices that impact the organisation's footprint, such as the construction of eco-friendly buildings or the implementation of energy-efficient systems. The Macro lens in business reflects a commitment to holistic, systemic changes that align with both organisational goals and broader environmental considerations.

We continue to embody that idea – that our work is truly realised
when it shapes a better world.”

Conversely, the Micro perspective directs attention to the intricacies within the organisation and the spaces where individuals work. On an organisational level, Micro strategies might involve department-specific workflows, personalised training programs, or team-building initiatives. In the built environment, Micro manifests through office designs that prioritise employee well-being, incorporating elements like natural lighting, ergonomic furniture, and collaborative workspaces. The Micro lens emphasises the fine-tuning of details to enhance individual experiences within the broader organisational structure, fostering a workplace environment that caters to the specific needs and preferences of its occupants.

The synergy between Macro and Micro perspectives is the hallmark of a well-rounded business strategy. While Macro strategies set the tone for overarching organisational goals and sustainable practices, Micro-level interventions ensure that these strategies translate effectively into the daily experiences of individuals within the built environment. Whether it's a comprehensive organisational restructuring or the thoughtful design of workspaces, this integrated approach establishes a dynamic equilibrium. This balance not only aligns with the broader organisational vision but also creates a conducive and sustainable work environment, where personal well-being and environmental considerations harmoniously coexist.

Practice Capabilities

Throughout business strategy, the concept of Macro and Micro unfolds as a dynamic framework that considers both the expansive organisational perspective (Macro) and the nuanced, individual-centric approach within the built environment (Micro). At its core, Macro encapsulates the strategic decisions and broad initiatives that shape the overall organisational structure, while Micro delves into the detailed intricacies of the spaces where individuals work, bridging personal and environmental perspectives.
