Leaders failing to manage this change risk causing a great disconnect with their people. In the pre-pandemic world vision was created by a small cluster of senior leaders and then cascaded down the organization. Now every employee must be involved in the creation of the vision through a process that ensures their goals and those of their team are transparently aligned to the vision.

Ken will provide some very concrete examples of how smart workplace software has recently been deployed to get people back to offices, to enable new working practices and to promote collaboration, team working, organizational learning, innovation and creativity. The newest frontier is now how to experiment and eventually provide workplace designs that support diverse needs. Large organizations will often require different approaches from department to department based on the dynamism or conservatism of the teams. They also require different approaches from country to country too. Another thorny decision is related to activity-based working versus departmental home zones. In addition to this Ken will consider emerging workplace design strategies that support diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
