What is the mission of your business?
Corporate Concepts is proud to be the oldest Knoll furniture dealership in the Southeast, having opened its doors in 1986. With Knoll’s distinguished reputation for quality and design, it is only fitting that Knoll and Corporate Concepts have been synonymous for more than 25 years. Our mission is to be the best provider of office furniture and services in the markets we serve. Quality relationships require time, effective communication and commitment. By engaging the client, architect, designer and project manager, we take a team approach to providing excellent service.
What differentiates your business from other specialists in the field?
Service. Our team of professionals has the experience to manage all phases of your project from inception to completion. Attention to detail in planning, specification and installation ensure that all requirements and completion dates are met on time. The success we have achieved in this field is based on a corporate-wide commitment to providing the best possible service to the client. This is a direct result of listening to the needs of our clients. To achieve this commitment, we communicate and operate as a team.
What are the latest developments/innovations in your field?
The new office is more open and more social. The majority of business today is “knowledge work” in which people work with intangible materials, and in many cases, the output is intangible. The nature of this work is highly collaborative and social that often happens in a wide range of locations, with almost half of all work occurring outside the primary workspace. The new office allows for orchestrated collaboration via a live network and promotes the free flow of ideas as real estate, technology and people become more closely connected. A workplace vision that facilitates a life balance is an important recruitment tool, and the new office will undergo further change to support it.
