Résumé/Abstract

This paper focuses on performative processes surrounding strategic office (re)design projects, where representations of the future are enrolled and enacted to develop a course of action, thereby creating conditions of possibility for this future to come into existence. Our analysis is informed by a triangular template made up of strategy, space, and time –operationalized through Whittington’s (2006) integrated framework that takes into consideration the people involved, the nature of practices, and the praxis surrounding office design processes. It brings to the fore a concrete illustration of how strategy, space, and time operate in contemporary society – specifically in the context of organizational life. Our study demonstrates that spatial strategizing is a major tool through which the future is brought into the present within accounting firm organizations.
