Bo took Redesigning Work & Workplace: Space, Technology, and Culture with us in August 2024, and we asked him a few questions about his experience after.
Why did you choose to sign up for this program?
As a developer of speculative office buildings, it is critically important we design our workplaces to optimize the diverse workstyles of the people who work in our buildings. The course description promised to provide me in depth insights into how the workplace is evolving from a design and technology perspectives.
You commented during the program about how valuable it was for you to hear the perspectives from companies that occupy the real estate you develop. Can you say a little more about that?
Listening to occupiers’ challenges and preferences in an open forum is a rare opportunity to learn directly what is most valuable to forward thinking organizations. This course provides a chance to hear from users and have smaller conversations at lunch or dinner to discover in even greater detail areas of interest.
The market for office as an asset type has undergone massive changes in the last few years. What do your clients value in their offices in 2024, and how do you view the future of office as a real estate asset type?
How diverse generations view work and perform work was accelerated during the pandemic. The future of work is fascinating because it is changing more rapidly than ever. People-centric design that inspires and engages employees will be the winning workplaces. Providing employees an exceptional daily experience in their workplace plus their surrounding walkable environment will be critical to a winning workplace of the future.
