Dilbert’s Ultimate Cubicle

Scott Adams approached IDEO to create Dilbert’s Ultimate Cubicle, an attempt to address the myriad issues connected with partition-based offices: lack of personal control, absence of privacy, inadequate space and tools, and so on. IDEO designers created and lived in their own “Dilbertville” within the San Francisco office for several weeks, to gain empathy for typical cubicle dwellers and to gain firsthand insights into the challenges they face. Combining that experience with input from Scott Adams and the cumulative advice of thousands of emails from Dilbert fans, the designers created a series of quick prototype spaces to explore a range of ideas, from the serious to the outrageous.
