Who Moved My Desk?! - Wed. 10/10/18 Luncheon

Who Moved My Desk?! Is Corporate Real Estate Still Relevant?

Inspired by the energy and success of commercial coworking spaces, corporations have started to look into creating their own internal or "corporate" coworking spaces to drive innovation and to disrupt themselves before getting disrupted from the outside. In fact, they are creating “controlled disruptions” for themselves, and many consider this the true nature of innovation. Corporate coworking spaces can be fertile grounds for experimentations: trials and errors, learning from failures, while allowing companies to hedge risks beyond their organization.

But are corporations ready for open innovation? Can they directly apply the commercial coworking model with all its fundamental values, such as openly sharing information or placing learning over expertise? This presentation reveals the findings of a global research that investigated the success stories of and lessons learned from 15 companies globally that have built their own coworking spaces.

Our Speaker:

Dr. Gabor Nagy, Ideation & Research Program Manager at Haworth has led client consulting engagements targeting innovation, organizational culture, network analysis and workplace performance. Using his 15 years of experience to integrate research and consulting, Dr. Nagy has been providing expert insights for clients to develop and assess high performing work environments. Given his architecture / design / engineering background, including a doctorate focusing on the human side of workplace performance, he enjoy the challenge of applying a powerful science + design approach to solve complex problems.
