How an office is designed can have a big impact on our productivity and well-being. After months of working from home, we’ve gained a stronger sense of what works and what doesn’t – and not everyone is ready to embrace the thought of returning to the traditional way of working. Will we return to the office at all? How will we meet new expectations for the future of work?  

Sam Hughes talks to three guest speakers about the predicted transformations in the workplace in 2021 and beyond: 

Torben Østergaard, Architect and Partner at 3XN 
Mahwesh Khan, Research Associate at IMD 
Etti Seppä, Business Design Expert at KONE
