For example, post a phone number that clients can contact if the door access control is ever on the fritz. Such measures will help clients feel supported in an increasingly automated world.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Continuing Education<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Experience-driven spaces are the latest in office design. Continuing education events offer new experiences for clients. The classes also double as a value-added service. You may want to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Host how-to workshops for popular software programs<\/li>\n<li>Invite experts to facilitate theme-based seminars, such as marketing and project planning<\/li>\n<li>Create member forums where clients can network<\/li>\n<li>Seminars on work-life balance techniques and relaxation methods<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Create Thoughtful Ambiance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Thoughtful design pays off.
