We want to mobilize brain
power and have high
performing teams that can
solve complex business
problems and deliver value
continiuously.
Why do we work Agile?

We get low performing
stressed individuals,
who spend their brain power
trying to find a place to sit.
The organization is
inneffective, producing
poor quality.
How does Agile work
together with ABS?

Please stop
trying to save
money on office
space!

…and start asking
how you can help
to mobilize more
brain power!

Flexible Seating often disguised as
Activity Based Seating
During the Agile Sverige Conference we learned that there is a huge difference with
ABS and FS – and that what people commonly think is ABS actually is FS. This slide is added.

The “Get Seated for
