I recently co-authored a report for the City of London on Future Workstyles and Future Workplaces.
I worked alongside fellow WCO colleagues Rob Harris of Ramidus Consulting and
Despina Katsikakis, which was enjoyable and a breath of fresh air compared to
carrying out research in my own bubble. The report was launched at MIPIM in
Cannes, which unfortunately I didn’t get to, and London, where I ended up. Both launches were well received with, what I perceived as, genuine interest and intelligent questions. We also received some good reviews on the usual social media channels. I like that people are saying that our reported workplace trends are relevant to all locations and not just to London. It’s great because we actually looked at global trends and then tailored them so that they were more relevant to the City of London. The City did a great job on the look and feel of the report; the new light and graphical format is a pleasant departure from their usual heavy tomes (so I’ve stolen their graphics).
