It can be hard to bring optimism to work every day and flexibility is easier said than done. People often feel too burdened by busyness to find new ways to approach work. Great design and passion for learning removes those barriers. The investments you make in your office design today will spark growth in the future. Hang onto your seats--this is going to be fun!

Workplace design trends come and go, but companies need offices that can scale and grow as they do. Is your office designed for growth? Breaking the cycle of traditional use of space is essential to employee satisfaction. How do you make every corner of your office count? You need learning spaces. Employees who learn every day collaborate, create and innovate. It’s all work and all life, there is no 50-50 balance. How can we create space that allows our teams to start everyday with optimism?

Find out in this presentation from our 2020 Future Offices Winter event by Gavin Hughes Daniels, Co-Founding Principal, Wingate Hughes.

Traditional space survey audits just aren’t giving you the real story and repeatedly lead to misinformation, but emerging technologies such as IoT sensors and smart devices are making the collection and tracking of space utilization data easier, more automated, and more accurate.

In this session from the 2020 Future Offices Winter in NYC, Eddy Wagoner, Global Chief Information Officer, JLL, and Michael Gresty, Vice President of Workplace Analytics at FM:Systems, identify five current best practices for gathering occupancy data and discuss the pros and cons of each toward enabling better-informed real estate and space planning decisions. They contrast implementation requirements and processes, optimum utilization methods for maximum value, share valuable decision-making analytics, and illustrate practical applications and space planning benefits.

With over 19 million square feet underway in NY, not even including the rest of the United States, things are changing quite rapidly for corporate real estate. With technology companies doubling down on office and an increase in flexible office, 2020 raises some eyebrows as to what will make for a successful year for office real estate. With that in mind, this panel discussion from the 2020 Future Offices Winter explores:

• Building and outfitting for urban and educated, tech-savvy, connected millennials.
• Location strategy: taking into consideration transportation infrastructure, local culture, and entertainment activities.
• What is the state of private office investments vs. flexible office investments?

Panelists include:

• AJ Greulich, Head of Workplace and Real Estate, US & Canada Geo Lead, Uber
• Sheena Gohil, Senior Managing Director, Colliers
• Alejandro Rivero, Director of Corporate Real Estate, Samsung
• Sara Baldi, Global Head of Real Estate & Workplace, Cruise
• Nick LiVigne, Head of Product, Convene
• Richard Smith, Founder & CEO, Office Freedom
• Moderator: Aaron Friedman, Vice President of Operations Fifth Gen Media, Publisher of Connected Real Estate
  

Over the last 40 years, technology and innovation have impacted nearly every industry from finance to travel to retail. Amazon delivers our orders in hours, we can book a vacation in minutes, and soon we’ll take driverless uber rides to work, -yet the way design and construction services are delivered has remained largely unchanged. The current process is slow, risky, lacks coordination, and budgets are often blown as result. In fact, in 2015, Mckinsey listed the construction industry as the second to last industry to benefit from digitization ( just ahead of hunting). There must be a better way – and there is.

Watch this full panel discussion on the latest innovations in design and delivery that will revolutionize the way we think about delivering workplaces.

Panelists:

• Alex Palmisano, Construction Manager, Compass
• Natasha Bonugli, Regional Principal - Design, Unispace
• Steve Burrows, Principal Consultant, Cameron MacAllister Group
• Shirley Lam, Global Workplace Design Standards Manager, Facebook
• Albert DePlazaola, Global Principal, Strategy and Design, Unispace
