Where Is My Office?: The Post-Pandemic Edition

An examination of the future of our workspaces and how the pandemic will continue to shape how and where we work.

In the modern age of remote working and flexible work hours, why have most office spaces remained relatively unchanged for decades? And how will our offices and workspaces look in the aftermath of the 2020-22 Covid pandemic? In this follow-up edition of Where is My Office?, first published in 2020, Chris Kane draws upon his extensive knowledge and experience in commercial property to investigate the new-found significance of innovative corporate real estate thinking in the modern workplace. With the rise of agile and hybrid working, hot-desking and new technological innovations, the traditional office space no longer serves the needs of the modern workforce. And with increasing numbers of staff now comfortable with a degree of 'Working from Home', how can companies assess their longer-term workspace needs? This new edition, fully revised and updated to reflect the true impact of Covid-19 on the workplace, highlights the bold new solutions to workplace practices which have the potential to invigorate employee productivity while simultaneously trimming excess costs.

Chris poses his ground-breaking 'Smart Value' formula which underpinned the success of his redevelopment of the property portfolio of the BBC, and which can be adapted to enact meaningful and lasting organizational change in any business. This formula is supported through in-depth case studies from Chris's prestigious career, while interviews with prolific industry insiders such as Ronen Journo, SVP of WeWork and Mark Dixon, founder of Regus, provide fascinating insights into the ground-breaking strategies that are transforming the commercial property sector. Where is My Office? is a must-read for any business leader looking to revitalise their workplace in a post-pandemic environment and develop a greater understanding of the beneficial impacts that innovative workplace strategies can have upon their organization's success.
