Cultivating a state of mind where new ideas are born
I have never been productive in open office spaces and then saw an HBS study showing empirical data on the things I felt all along:

It saves them a lot of cost to not build and maintain humane cubes, but other arguments of how great it is for "me" are just bogus.
