What does the office of BCG Boston Consulting Group, one of the world's leading management consulting firms, look like? Located in Shanghai, the calm wood tones of the office evoke an atmosphere of professionalism and dedication, while the space is designed to be simple and modern, incorporating local Chinese elements.

With the change in work patterns, remote work has become the mainstream and less than 40% employees are now working full-time in the office; BCG understands the importance of teamwork and has designed an open and flexible workspace for this purpose. By reducing the number of closed offices and creating more small spaces for discussion, employees are able to communicate and solve problems more efficiently in a flexible environment.

These changes have not only improved internal operational efficiency, but have also become a competitive advantage in attracting quality talent. bCG recognizes that offering flexible work arrangements and open office space attracts professionals who seek career freedom and are highly disciplined and flexible. In today's fierce global competition for talent, such a work environment is one of the key factors in attracting top talent.

The design of the counter area is dominated by the elegant dark shelf ceiling, with downlights illuminating the logos on the white glass wall, creating a refined and professional atmosphere. The counter is made of square wood and cleverly added with small metal countertops to add visual layers and changes, presenting a professional image of simplicity without losing texture. In the small meeting room of the reception area, there are single sofa chairs and low coffee tables, providing a comfortable temporary resting space for guests to feel relaxed and at ease while waiting.

Entering from the counter, the space is equipped with several meeting rooms, which can be adjusted according to the number of participants. The overall design continues with the wood tone, creating a warm and professional atmosphere. The design of the corridor cleverly utilizes the contrast between dark and light materials, which not only guides the flow of space, but also adds a sense of hierarchy, making the overall space both functional and full of design.

More surprisingly, the furniture configuration of the meeting room is not only equipped with a large conference table, but also well-equipped with video equipment and a round table area, providing a flexible and suitable space for various discussions. Next to the open office space, colorful movable single chairs and negotiation tables are placed, breaking the traditional pattern of fixed seats for employees, and thus removing the space barrier to promote more interaction and cooperation.

The pantry area has a high bar and long dining tables, allowing colleagues to easily communicate or share a meal during breaks. It's also the perfect place to break down job hierarchies, where young colleagues are free to provide feedback and ideas, and supervisors share their experiences in a relaxed manner. These discussions from all directions not only promote the exchange of knowledge, but also become an important driving force for the growth and progress of colleagues.
