It’s time to end the debate about whether offices should be an open or closed environment.

Over the years, companies’ workplaces and real estate strategies have shifted, from using enclosed offices with doors, to high-panel workstations, all the way to benching.

While all of this experimentation was done in an attempt to maximize productivity and effectiveness, what emerged was an ongoing, and mostly unsatisfying, debate on which was better — open or closed office plans.
