In "Design for Knowledge Exploration & Exploitation in R&D" we see how specific spatial design is a strong tool for implementing specific workspace staging along the process chain of raw R&D to increase breakthrough probability. Via contextual ambidexterity, through different workspace designs co-located with different discipline and functional teams, even within the same office or laboratory environment, exploration and exploitation can be increased to foster organizational learning, and a consistent increase in breakthroughs for those involved.
More, what is ignored often is the simplicity of coordinating specific R&D activities with spatial queues to increase R&D effectiveness and the ramifications of modifying the R&D process windows to utilize the above to increase the likelihood of successful outcomes.
