About this webinar:

As remote working and flexible hours become the norm, why have most office spaces remained relatively unchanged for decades? With the rise of agile working, hot-desking and new technological innovations, the traditional office no longer serves the needs of the modern workforce.

In his book Where is My Office?, Chris Kane highlights the bold solutions to workplace practices, which have the potential to invigorate employee productivity while trimming excess costs.

Chris says, "We need a holistic approach across IT, property and HR. This will ultimately create a stronger and more impactful delivery system for the organization and its people. For those dealing with the physical aspect of the workplace it is essential to look over the parapet beyond the confines of the property sector in order to move forward to engage in a different manner with the worlds of HR and IT." 

The transition back to the office needs to be a people-driven agile working environment in order to navigate organizational change. This webinar is applicable to:

  • CEOs and Co-Founders
  • Human Resources
  • Operations 
  • IT 
  • Tech leaders

Hear from Chris Kane and Teamit's Alistair Shepherd-Cross and Candace Giesbrecht. Get Chris's take on how business leaders can revitalise the workplace in the 21st Century of remote work.

“With the recent onset of remote working and prevalence of flexible outsourced workspaces, the traditional ‘office’ has never been so obsolete. Chris Kane provides fascinating insights into the future of corporate real estate with this timely and engaging book.” - Mark Dixon, CEO & founder, IWG

“Chris Kane has written an incredibly timely book for leaders thinking through the value and role of the physical and virtual office in a post COVID 19 "new normal" world. The Smart Value Formula presents a play book for executives who have an organizational imperative to optimally engage their employees.” - Will Saunders, Founder & CEO, AllyAlign Health

“The idea of ‘the office’ is at an inflection point today more than ever. While the evolving nature of work, and in turn the role of the office, has been a key topic for industry insiders, it is now something that every business leader is asking themselves. This book touches upon these issues and provides a depth of insight that only someone with Chris’s experience and innovative spirit could capture.” - Steven Quick, Chief Executive, Cushman & Wakefield
