Shifting from 20th Century Rigidity to 21st Century Agility in the Workplace

Chris Kane, the author of “Where Is My Office? Reimagining the Workplace for the 21st Century” joins Enterprise Radio. He’s worked in the Corporate Real Estate sector for over thirty years, having operated as the Vice President of International Corporate Real Estate for The Walt Disney Company, before acting as Head of Corporate Real Estate at the BBC.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Chris Kane discuss the following:

  1. What was your motivation for writing the book?
  2. Your philosophy of people, place process is explored in the book. Do you think current conversations have been fixated on place, i.e. the switch from office to home as if this were a zero sum game
  3. Is the office as we know it dead, or at the least on life support?
  4. Considering most people don’t want to go back to 9-to-5, five-days-a-week working, what will the office of the very near future look like?
  5. In your book you talk about the rise of the omnichannel workplace. What is that exactly? Is it different to agile working and is the pandemic going to hasten its spread or not?
  6. How has the corporate real estate sector lagged other industries when it comes to considering customer needs?
