Dr. Aram Seddigh – expert in workplace strategy for modern organisations
Dr. Aram Seddigh is the founder and CEO of WeOffice, a PhD in work and organisational psychology, a licensed psychologist and a business graduate. He is one of Sweden’s most experienced advisors in workplace strategy, office development and change management.
By combining research, behavioural science, business understanding and extensive practical experience, Aram helps organisations make better decisions about offices, ways of working, premises and change. The focus is not on generic trends, but on what the organisation actually needs in order to perform better.
Aram works with organisations facing major workplace decisions. This may involve renewing a lease, relocating, redesigning an existing office, developing an activity-based way of working or creating better conditions for hybrid work.
Aram combines research depth with delivery capability. That makes workplace strategy useful not only in analysis, but also in requirements, premises decisions, office design and sustainable implementation.
Key takeaways
- Aram helps organisations translate goals, work patterns and operational needs into workplace strategy that can support real decisions.
- His strength is in connecting workplace analysis, premises questions, change management and office development into one coherent decision logic.
- He is particularly relevant when major workplace or real estate choices need to be made without locking the organisation into the wrong solution.
Decision signal
If the organisation is already discussing premises, layout or concept direction before it is clear which work patterns and needs the workplace must support, the workplace strategy needs to become sharper before the project moves further.
An advisor with both research depth and practical experience
Aram holds a PhD in work and organisational psychology, with a research focus on how different office types and ways of working affect health, performance, concentration and wellbeing. He is also a licensed psychologist, a business graduate and certified in Prosci Change Management.
His academic background gives his advisory work a strong research foundation. His practical experience makes that knowledge usable in real projects, where organisations need to make decisions under pressure, manage competing priorities and move forward without locking themselves into the wrong solution.
Aram has been responsible for a large number of workplace projects for both public and private organisations. These assignments have often covered the full process: workplace analysis, workplace strategy, future space needs, property search, lease negotiations, office design, change management, project management, procurement, relocation and implementation.
The common mistake in office development
A recurring problem Aram sees in office projects is that organisations often prioritise meetings, collaboration and social space in a way that weakens the conditions for focus. The result is often the opposite of what the organisation intended: when employees cannot concentrate in the office, attendance drops, and when attendance drops, the conditions for spontaneous meetings, knowledge sharing and collaboration weaken as well.
Aram’s view is clear: a good office should not force a choice between focus and collaboration. It should create the conditions for both. That requires analysis rather than assumptions. The organisation needs to understand which tasks require concentration, which require collaboration, which groups need proximity to each other and which settings genuinely support everyday work.
From strategy to implementation
Workplace strategy needs to lead to action. That is why Aram works not only with analysis and recommendations, but also with translating the strategy into requirements, office design, property search, lease negotiations, change management and implementation.
Practical implementation is central. A decision base should be usable for leadership, HR, real estate, IT, managers, project teams, architects and employees. It should show what the organisation needs, why it matters and what the consequences of different choices will be.
Through WeOffice, Aram helps organisations move from uncertainty to clearer priorities, and from strategy to a workplace that works in practice.
Workplace Adequacy™ and data-driven workplace development
Aram has developed Workplace Adequacy™, a framework and analysis-based approach for understanding how well a workplace supports organisational needs, employee work and the principles required for a well-functioning modern workplace.
The framework helps organisations move beyond generic office trends and ask more important questions: does the workplace support the work that actually needs to be done, does the office support both focus and collaboration, is the footprint right-sized and which changes should be prioritised first?
When workplace development is connected to the Workplace Adequacy™ Framework, decisions become more structured, more evidence-based and easier to anchor across the organisation.
When should organisations get in touch?
The best time to involve Aram and WeOffice is often 12 to 18 months before a lease renewal, or when the organisation is facing a major change in office, ways of working or space needs. At that stage, there is still time to make the right decisions in the right order: analyse the current situation, understand organisational needs, compare scenarios, define requirements, assess property options and plan the change before timeline and budget become too constrained.
WeOffice is also relevant when the organisation needs to move quickly, but does not want to lock in the wrong solution. This may involve creating a decision base, carrying out a workplace analysis, prioritising between scenarios or developing workplace strategy that can actually be implemented.
Next step
Are you facing a decision about offices, ways of working or future space needs?
Aram and WeOffice help organisations build a clear decision base, compare scenarios and develop workplace strategy that can be carried through in practice. The first step is often to clarify the current situation and identify which choices are worth examining before premises, space allocation or design are locked in.
