India once seen as a tea stronghold is emerging as a dynamic market for premium coffee. One brand leveraging this pivot is Costa Coffee. The British coffee house has a strange business arrangement in India. Owned by Coke, its outlets are operated by Pepsi’s biggest Indian bottler. Nevertheless and unfazed by growing competition from premium coffee names like Blue Tokai and Tim Hortons, Costa counts India as one of its top markets and wants to expand its footprint of 200 outlets in the near future. In this episode, Philippe Schaillee, Global CEO at Costa Coffee, talks to host Ratna Bhushan about how the legacy brand is blending tradition with the agility of a startup to win over a new generation of coffee enthusiasts. From Gen Z’s growing appetite for cold brews and flavored options to navigating post-COVID inflation without compromising on quality, Philippe breaks down Costa’s business strategy for a market that is really waking up and smelling the coffee. He sheds light on the company’s city-focused growth strategy, the role of local partnerships, and what sets Costa apart in a fiercely competitive, youth-driven market. Stay tuned in as we explore What makes a coffee experience aspirational today? Can global brands win by going hyper-local? And is India the future powerhouse of the global coffee revolution?Tune in You can follow Ratna Bhushan on her Linkedin, Twitter profiles and read her Newspaper Articles.

Fred Cook kicks off a timely conversation on the future of public relations—through the lens of generational differences and shared experiences. The episode unpacks key insights from the USC Center for PR's 2025 Global Communication Report: Mind The Gap, which examines how four major forces—AI, hybrid work, media evolution, and polarization—are reshaping the industry and impacting the four generations working within it.Moderated by Barby K. Siegel, Global CEO of Zeno Group, the panel explores questions like:How do different generations view AI's role in the future of PR?What does true collaboration across age groups look like?How can organizations foster flexibility without sacrificing culture?How should communicators approach purpose-driven work amid growing polarization and risk aversion?Key Discussion Highlights:AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement: AI is seen as a career-enhancing tool that frees up time for creativity and strategic thinking — but panelists caution against using it as a crutch, emphasizing the need to maintain strong writing and critical thinking skills.Hybrid Work Expectations: Younger generations value autonomy and flexibility, with many willing to take pay cuts for remote options. But panelists stress that trust, clear expectations, and intentional relationship-building remain critical in hybrid settings.Media Consumption Gaps: Gen Z leans into social and influencer-driven media, while older generations still prioritize traditional outlets like The New York Times and CNN. The takeaway? Successful communicators must be media-fluid and audience-focused.The Purpose Divide: Younger employees (especially Gen Z) expect companies to take stands on social issues, even as overall industry willingness to engage has dropped sharply—from 89% in 2023 to 52% in 2025.Soft Skills Still Reign: From phone calls to peer reviews, interpersonal communication, empathy, and networking remain essential soft skills for all generations.Call for Collaboration: Panelists advocate for breaking down hierarchies by bringing younger professionals into leadership conversations early and often. Generational gaps should be "galvanized," not just "minded."Reports: 2025 Global Communication Report: https://annenberg.usc.edu/research/center-public-relations/global-communication-reportFeaturing:    •    Fred Cook (USC Annenberg Center for PR)    •    Kelly McGinnis (Levi Strauss & Co.)    •    Sona Iliffe-Moon (Yahoo)    •    Bill Imada (IW Group)    •    Kyndall L.

We've all heard that phrase "work smarter, not harder." But has anyone actually told you what that means in practice? For those of us leading change and transformation, the gap between working ourselves to the bone and actually creating impact can feel frustratingly wide.This week, Nellie speaks to Chris Hirst, former Global CEO of Havas Creative, and author of ‘No Bullshit Change', ‘No Bullshit Leadership', and the upcoming ‘Indispensable: The No Bullshit Guide to Career Success'. Chris reveals a startling reality: most change leaders deliver 80% of their actual value in just 20% of their time. The rest? It's what he calls "fluff and filler" that's eating our productivity alive.Chris tackles a provocative idea – that identifying and focusing on the vital 20% doesn't require special talent, just deliberate practice and clear priorities. You'll learn practical approaches to reclaim your calendar (including his Monday morning 10% rule), run meetings that actually accomplish something, create presentations that engage rather than bore, and communicate in ways that drive action.Whether you're leading organizational change and transformation or building your own career, these straightforward techniques for leadership, clarity, and execution will help you stop wasting time and become truly indispensable.----Connect with:Nellie WartoftCEO of TigerhallChair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)nellie@tigerhall.com Find Chris' upcoming book here.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Indispensable-Seven-Ways-Thrive-Workplace/dp/1529051754 ----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Logicalis, the leading global technology service provider, has released its annual CIO Report, which reveals that 95% of CIOs are actively investing in technology to create new revenue streams within the next 12 months. According to the report - which surveyed 1,000 CIOs from across the globe, including Ireland - the CIO role is no longer focused on enablement but on shaping business strategy and driving value, with nearly all CIOs (94%) regularly reporting to the board on return on investment (ROI). This expanded mandate is heightened by the rapid emergence of new technologies. The report found that almost all organisations are exploring how next-generation technologies can specifically support commercial growth. This trend shows no sign of slowing, with Artificial Intelligence (AI - 95%), machine learning capabilities (93%), and Internet of Things (IoT - 89%) initiatives among the most widely adopted emerging technologies over the past 12 months. Realising value from these investments remains a challenge with 85% of CIOs reporting a growing pressure for technology to demonstrate tangible business impact and many (64%) acknowledging that their next-generation technology investments have yet to deliver anticipated returns. As the gap between balancing investments and realised value intensifies, CIOs remain optimistic about the potential of these technologies. Still, most tech leaders (93%) continue to juggle limited time and resources to ensure better business outcomes. As CIOs consider innovations that support future growth, they must continue to navigate business-critical objectives. Despite unprecedented spending on security solutions, 88% experienced cybersecurity incidents in the last 12 months last year, with 43% enduring multiple breaches raising questions about the effectiveness of security spending. One area where they are beginning to see tangible financial results is through the integration of environmental technologies. Nine in ten (91%) CIOs have realised direct commercial benefits, and over half (53%) report these as significant. With a good track record, it is no surprise that those investing in environmental sustainability initiatives have risen from 92% in 2023 to 95% over the past 12 months. On this year's report, Bob Bailkoski, Global CEO of Logicalis Group, said: "For almost every business, technology has become the primary engine of innovation, growth and resilience. With this dependence comes a new expectation of CIOs - they're no longer just enablers of business strategy but drivers of commercial success. Whether through maintaining a keener focus on ROI from next-generation technologies, optimising security spending or maximising the financial benefits of sustainability initiatives, technology leaders need to seek out the right investments and partnerships that can help them deliver on their business goals." While most CIOs are confident that their IT spending is yielding a return, many (91%) believe there is room for improvement. As challenges around complexity, resources and performance visibility remain, the report highlights the importance of fostering strong technology partnerships to help CIOs meet this changing landscape, alleviate pressures and unlock value. Additional findings on innovation 94% agree the CIO role is becoming a key part of shaping business strategy and direction 94% report their organisation is exploring how next-generation technology can support their commercial growth 94% of CIOs are actively seeking opportunities to incorporate AI into their business, compared to 89% last year 86% report growing pressure within their organisation to ensure ROI from AI Additional findings on sustainability 95% say their organisation is increasing their investment in environmental sustainability initiatives and/or technologies, compared to 92% last year 94% think IT is core to the success of their organisation's sustainability goals, compared to 93% last year 93% report their organisation se...

Lesley Uren, Global CEO of Consulting for Korn Ferry, caught up with Emma Carroll, Source's Head of Content, on the latest episode of The Future of the Firm podcast to discuss where the hot spots and challenges in human capital consulting are today, and where clients' needs are set to shift in this space.  Lesley shares her insight on the following matters and more:  Volatility in the market for human capital consulting is being driven by large macro factors that are impacting clients' appetite to invest. This uncertainty is likely to persist, and consulting firms need to be able to pivot quickly to respond to clients' changing business issues.   CEOs are facing a big challenge around maintaining business performance as they transform their organisations. AI is one of the big triggers here, as leaders start to rethink their business models, but there are other drivers too, including cost pressures.   Data, including the use of data to create insights, is set to be the biggest change in human capital consulting. We discuss the power of unlocking client data and combining that with a firm's data to reveal hidden information about talent and drive better business performance.  The big questions from clients around AI include: How can we redesign our organisation? How will work be different? What kind of skills will we need? Where will we find those skills at scale? How can we galvanise our people behind this change? How will softer skills ensure this transition is successful?   The political temperature around DEI is impacting the type of support clients need in this area. We discuss what is changing and what is staying the same.    Firms will need to think differently about demonstrating value to clients. It's about more than processing and sythesising data now: It's about proving impact.  If you enjoyed this conversation, don't miss our sister podcast, Business Leader's Voice. In a recent episode, we talked to Sarah Ricketts, SVP for Procurement at Rolls-Royce, about transforming procurement with data, culture, and tech.

New research from The Gemba Group suggests a credibility problem for the sports sponsorship industry arising when agencies both advise brands on sponsorship opportunities and sell rights for those same properties, leading to potentially biased recommendations. The discussion highlights the increasing involvement of procurement departments, the need for greater transparency and better analytical tools, and the importance of long-term, sustainable relationships between brands and rights holders. Our guests view these issues as crucial for sponsorship to continue growing as a vital revenue stream for sports organizations. Guests:Rob Mills, Global CEO, GembaClaire Kelly, Managing Director of Europe and Middle East, Gemba.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

Out-of-home advertising isn't just about billboards anymore. With data-driven targeting, creative innovations, and deep measurement capabilities, the OOH industry has transformed into a sophisticated media channel that deserves a bigger seat at the table. In this episode of Insider Interviews, I got to explore the great outdoors with David Krupp, Global CEO of Billups, and Jaime Byrdak, CEO of North America, to go beyond the boards and explore how out-of-home ('OOH' and 'DOOH') is making an undeniable impact on today's media mix. David and Jaime bring decades of experience in the industry, having worked together for 20 years in the industry before bringing their considerable chops to billups, Ben and Heather Billups' eponymous agency -- a name that works pretty darn well for working with billboards!  The company itself is only a couple of decades old but already claims nine patents that solve for the challenges of measurement and capturing data-driven insights in OOH. Probably good reasons it also claimed a spot on the 2024 list of fastest-growing companies among the Inc.5000 of companies "building the future." From their strategic approach to planning and measurement to their creative applications of technology like anamorphic (think: 3D) and AI-powered  optimization, David and Jaime share insights on why OOH is more "in" and relevant than ever -- and how they are making the most of being the largest independent agency in the space. Anamorphic DOOH "Out-of-home is sometimes the first to get cut from a media plan, but it shouldn't be. We're proving that it's measurable, it drives sales, and it deserves a seat at the table." -- Jaime Byrdak It's about staying nimble even with international scale, offering up considerable expertise as "consigliere" for media planners and buyers, and growing relationships both inside with coworkers and outside with customers. "Anybody can buy a billboard. The question is, are you buying the right one in the right place at the right time for the right reasons against the right audience?" -- David Krupp To that point, hear about their leadership philosophies, personal stories (including Jaime's time as a White Sox ball girl!), and what's next for the future of OOH. Top Takeaways: OOH is More Than Awareness – While traditionally seen as just a brand awareness tool, out-of-home can now drive sales, foot traffic, and digital engagement thanks to improved data and measurement techniques. Technology is Changing the Game – Innovations like AI-powered planning tools, real-time ad serving, and 3D anamorphic creative are pushing OOH into new territory. Measurement is Critical – Billups has developed patented measurement methodologies to prove ROI, showing how OOH contributes to everything from app downloads to in-store visits. The Power of Independence – As the largest independent out-of-home agency, Billups leverages its flexibility to provide unbiased, data-driven media recommendations. Leadership & Mentorship Matter – Both David and Jaime emphasize the importance of team culture, professional development, and fostering the next generation of OOH experts.

Looking Forward to a New Year  2024 was a year marked by unpredictability in all industries. Sluggish economic growth and an unprecedented drop in voluntary turnover led to a significant reduction in hiring that talent acquisition leaders had to be able to address. However, where there are downcycles, there are often soon to be upcycles, and TA Leaders need to be prepared for the coming marketing conditions.  On the latest episode of the HRO Today Educational Podcast series, Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO of Hudson RPO, discusses these circumstances with host Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today. Together, Jake and Elliot predict which trends will have big impacts on HR and why HR leaders should be looking beyond the first half of 2025.

Joe Hart, Global President Dale Carnegie & Associates Previously Joe was President Asset Health, President at Info Ally, Development Director Taubman, and as a lawyer, Associate at Dawda, Mann, Mulcahy & Sadler, Associate at Clark, Klein & Beaumont.  He has a BA from the University of Michigan and a JD from the Wayne State University Law School.  He is a certified trainer in the Dale Carnegie Course. Summary: I reflected on my journey to becoming the President and Global CEO of Dale Carnegie & Associates and wanted to share some key insights about leadership. My career began in law, but everything changed after I took a Dale Carnegie course in 1995. It was a transformative experience that not only gave me the courage to leave law but also set me on a path toward personal and professional growth. Over the years, I've built and sold companies, including an e-learning firm and a wellness business, learning the importance of adaptability and innovation along the way. When I became CEO of Dale Carnegie, my approach was rooted in humility and a commitment to listening. I spent months connecting with our franchisees around the world, understanding their challenges and opportunities, and using their input to create a five-year strategic plan. My focus has always been on fostering trust, building relationships, and creating a culture where people feel supported and engaged. The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most challenging periods of my leadership. Thankfully, Dale Carnegie's foresight in developing online training back in 2010 allowed us to pivot quickly to a digital model. It wasn't easy—shifting globally to virtual delivery required rapid training and certification—but the effort paid off. Transparency and regular communication were critical during this time. I made it a priority to check in with team members, listen to their concerns, and provide as much clarity as possible about our direction. These actions helped build trust and kept the organization aligned during a period of uncertainty. I also see tremendous potential in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance productivity and client engagement. AI can streamline tasks like meeting preparation and research, freeing up time for more meaningful interactions. However, I believe the human element—skills like empathy, communication, and storytelling—remains irreplaceable. Leaders need to build trust and provide the necessary training to help teams adapt to these changes. I emphasized that effective AI implementation depends on employee confidence, motivation, and trust in leadership. Throughout my career, I've witnessed the power of confidence and psychological safety. At Dale Carnegie, we create environments where people feel empowered to take risks and grow. This approach aligns with our principles of focusing on strengths and encouraging positive development. I'm deeply committed to helping individuals and organizations build these capabilities, which are more important than ever in today's fast-changing world. For me, leadership is about continuously learning, staying true to core values, and ensuring that people feel supported and valued. By leveraging technology, fostering strong relationships, and prioritizing personal growth, I believe we can navigate even the toughest challenges. My goal is to carry forward Dale Carnegie's mission of transforming lives and reaching more people around the globe with tools that build confidence, inspire trust, and create lasting impact.

211: Angela Cretu is the former Global CEO of Avon. She is now an active Board Member, Beauty Industry Advisor, and Angel Investor. Angela took over as CEO just before the pandemic but had worked for Avon for 25 years starting her career in Romania. Growing up in a communist country meant that life was quite predictable, equality was standardised and the right to self expression was non existent. This set of experiences helped shape the leader that Angela was to become. Avon as a company was founded in 1886 and the business model from the very beginning was for women to share the products within their own micro communities (direct selling) which in turn would share wealth creation amongst many. The products and the model for selling were both breakthrough at the time and all focused on empowering women. It grew it's relevance over the years especially with it's in-house R&D capabilities however in the 2000's it started to lag behind its competitors by not keeping the pace with the market to follow and understand the behaviours and purchasing insights of women around the world. Avon's strong legacy was actually a burden, hampering its ability to be agile in a fast changing world. At one point Avon had approximately 6.5 million representatives with over 20,000 employees and revenues in the multiple billions. It was the ultimate social selling machine. This all changed during the pandemic and cost cutting was at the heart of the race to survive. Avon changed three CEO's over 12 years as the strategic dilemma was to decide if Avon was a brand or a channel and a number of mistakes were made as different executives tried to find the answer. Angela was always of the view that their millions of women sellers were brand equity creators and they needed to be empowered and leveraged across the world. When Angela took over, Avon was tipping on the edge of its own demise, until Natura decided to acquire Avon. Angela did not even apply for the role of CEO in 2019 and she was surprised to be summoned to Sao Paulo, the HQ of Natura and invited to apply, to which she initially said no. Natura knew that they needed someone with significant insight and experience of the business to drive the transformation that was necessary in order to survive and thrive. Once Angela knew she would have a real mandate for change from the board, she agreed to take the role. What was required was an end to end change, modernisation and overhaul of Avon. The essence of Avon was still the high touch and personal service that came from the millions of Avon sellers across the world and the strong purpose and movement that had been built since 1886. Aspirational beauty at irresistible value was the answer. During Angela's tenure as CEO, one of the main focus areas was her ability to change the history of Avon by tackling the biggest taboo, which was the direct selling methodology. She changed the question from what are we to why are we? She truly believed the world is a better place with Avon in it. As the debate raged as to whether Avon was a brand or a channel she decided that Avon was both, especially in the age of an omnichannel world. Avon today is located in 2,000 stores and has leveraged a number of strategic partnerships and digital nomad sellers utilising the power of social media. Angela stripped out the complexity of the business and dismantled the hard wiring beliefs before she instilled new values. Looking back Angela is able to reflect on the hard work that was necessary to transform Avon but during the events themselves she agrees that crisis was her daily dish on the leadership menu. Angela has 5 key reflections as a CEO: 1. A new type of leadership is required in todays world to become a force for good. 2. Moving from peer to leader - managing the weight of expectation 3. Being a multiplier not a pleaser - creating connections to allow others to act with purpose and autonomy. She also talks about the importance of being able to tell others who she is as a leader. 4. Unity amongst division - the devil of choosing a direction and managing the paradox without ignoring the nuances of both sides. 5. Redefining imposter syndrome - Angela feels the word imposter is a negative word and this more about leveraging your self doubt to learn. www.linkedin.com/in/angela-cretu/

Dogstrustusa.org Saving Dogs and Fighting Rabies with Dogs Trust USA's Owen Sharp About the Guest(s): Owen Sharp is the Director and President of Dogs Trust USA, appointed in July 2019. With a rich history in leadership roles within the non-profit and healthcare sectors, Sharp previously served as the Global CEO and Executive Director of the Movember Foundation in Culver City, California, and has had an impactful tenure as the CEO of Prostate Cancer UK. A trained nurse from Glasgow, Scotland, Owen is also honored with a doctorate from Glasgow Caledonian University. His passion for animal welfare, particularly dogs, is matched by his personal commitment to animal rescue and advocacy. Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss engages with Owen Sharp, President of Dogs Trust USA, for an insightful discussion about the critical issues facing dog welfare today. Sharp, with his extensive background in leadership and dog welfare, sheds light on the staggering challenges animal shelters face, from overpopulation and economic pressures to the rising abandonment rates following the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation traverses the importance of education and responsible dog ownership as a means to alleviate these issues. Sharp discusses the ambitious goals set by Dogs Trust USA to tackle poorly managed dog populations, improve physical welfare, and address the deaths caused by rabies internationally. Emphasizing the necessity for affordable spay and neuter programs and veterinary care, he urges for a committed community effort to support shelters in the US. By understanding the intricacies of training and matching the right dog to the owner, as well as creating awareness around rabies prevention, these measures promise to enhance dog welfare significantly and save countless lives. Key Takeaways: Dogs Trust USA focuses on the crucial areas of population management, low-cost veterinary care, and rabies prevention to improve dog welfare globally. COVID-19 has significantly increased dog abandonment rates, as many people adopted pets during lockdowns without fully understanding the responsibilities, leading to crowded shelters. Achieving responsible pet ownership starts with selecting the right dog for one's lifestyle and ensuring proper training and socialization. Rabies is a major global health problem, with one person dying from it approximately every 8-9 minutes worldwide. Dogs Trust strives for the total elimination of canine-mediated rabies. Supporting local shelters can be done through donations, volunteering, and fostering dogs, contributing to sustainable solutions in the welfare community. Notable Quotes: "If you have the right knowledge, if you have the right skills, nearly all of those behavioral issues can be avoided." – Owen Sharp "Our ambition is to halve the number of human deaths from rabies in the next five years." – Owen Sharp "It's not just saying, 'I want a dog,' and I want that one that I've seen for whatever reason, be it fashion, or a TV show." – Owen Sharp "We need to educate people about the type of dog that they get." – Owen Sharp "Rabies is 100% preventable—there is a vaccine that exists that you can give to animals." – Owen Sharp

Whale Wars Star and founder of Sea Shepherd, Captain Paul Watson, has been imprisoned since July in Greenland! The anti-whaling hero has applied for political asylum in France as he fights off attempts by Japan to get him extradited to that nation where he could end up behind bars for 15 years. Activists around the world are demanding that Watson be released immediately with protests from Los Angeles to France outside Danish government offices. Watson was first arrested back in July when his ship docked in Greenland, which is park of the kingdom of Denmark. Danish authorities are still deciding whether to extradite him. Japan is one of the few nations that still engages in whaling. Environmentalists and animal lovers across the globe are outraged that any government would side with whalers at a time when our seas and the animals in them are in crisis.

Scott Barras, Head of Work Dynamics, Canada, for JLL, discusses a recent survey by the commercial real estate company on the Future of Work. The video can be seen here. Press Release JLL's Future of Work Survey uncovers new opportunities for corporate real estate as two-thirds of business leaders expect their CRE budget to increase between now and 2030  CHICAGO, Sept. 9, 2024 – Despite the challenging commercial real estate landscape and mixed economic environment, global business leaders are bullish on the future, with two-thirds (65%) expecting their CRE budgets to increase between now and 2030, as revealed in JLL's (NYSE: JLL) Future of Work survey. The biennial, global survey explores the evolving world of work by assessing the key priorities, challenges and strategies that are top of mind for more than 2,300 business and CRE decision makers. This year's findings are unveiled through a series of articles exploring key areas of focus for corporate real estate teams: Managing the implications of shifting work patterns; Partnering with the C-suite to support CRE investment; Identifying CRE activities for ‘AI copiloting'; Moving from ambition to action on sustainability commitments; and Defining the future-fit CRE function. The first two articles, launched today, dive into the effects of shifting work patterns on workplace expectations, and what the changing world of work means for the way the CRE function operates as more than 64% of leaders expect to increase and rebalance their headcount by 2030, in an attempt to recruit the right skills for the future. “Since our 2022 survey, the CRE landscape has become increasingly complex and dynamic, evolving toward better office use. We see that in these results, and in our conversations with clients,” said Neil Murray, Global CEO, Work Dynamics, JLL. “Looking ahead, business and CRE leaders working to drive talent and efficiency throughout their organization must consider the unique needs of their organization, and leverage tools such as tech, AI, and upskilling, as well as strategic partnerships across the value chain to enable the CRE function to reach its full potential as a powerful agent of transformation.” Competing visions on the most efficient workstyles create renewed CRE challenges Business leaders are mainly focused on three corporate goals over the next five years: growing revenue through expansion and M&A (57%), attracting and retaining talent (53%) and achieving organizational efficiency (54%). However, the juxtaposition that lies between driving revenue growth through top talent and increasing efficiency requires leaders to delicately balance priorities and assess the role of offices as places that enable employees to deliver their best work. Strong momentum toward office-based work since 2022 has brought forth expectations among respondents to increase use of office space (62%), where more than half of leaders plan to grow their total footprint over the next five years. Today, 44% of organizations are considered “office advocates,” who would like to see staff in the office five days a week – as compared to 2022, when just 34% of employees were working in the office full time. Hybrid work is here to stay, but the office is central to work again. Today, 85% of organizations have a policy of at least three days of office attendance per week, and 43% expect the number of in-office days to increase by 2030 Globally, hybrid work is more likely to take place at large organizations in EMEA, where hybrid workstyles are considered a key part of the employee value proposition, and largely in sectors including e-commerce, energy & renewables, technology and life sciences. Office advocates alternatively tend to be small-to-medium sized companies in APAC or the Americas, across sectors such as healthcare, retail and manufacturing. Beyond those big trends, the reality is often more complex, with different workstyles coexisting within many organizations. Today's office advocates also make a concerted effort to address diverse workplace needs – they are more focused on making accessible workplaces (49% vs. 36% of hybrid adopters), tailored to meet the needs of different generations, cultures, and neurodiversity specificities, and may even pay a premium to occupy buildings with leading health and wellbeing credentials. With office attendance may also come new opportunities for compensation and career advancement– more than a third (39%) of respondents could envision introducing different pay and benefits to employees who attend the office regularly. “The future of work looks different across companies and regions, reflecting the unique nature of organizations and employee needs. It keeps shifting and requires building evolutionary office programs and spaces, able to adapt to continuous changes in the workstyles,” said Cynthia Kantor, CEO, Project & Development Services, JLL. “Globally, as CRE budgets and footprints receive new investment, the corporate real estate function must effectively partner with the C-suite to demonstrate the desired value.” The corporate real estate function can serve as a powerful agent of transformation, particularly with the use of technology, AI and the support of strategic partners  The value the corporate real estate function can deliver will vary depending on the needs of the organization and regional priorities. Globally, business leaders believe CRE can add the most value by supporting business growth (41%), enabling organizational efficiency (38%) and reducing operating costs (37%). Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are also an area in which the CRE function is expected to add value, especially in EMEA. Organizations in the Americas are more likely to expect CRE to support business growth, innovation and efficiency, while companies in Asia Pacific are more focused on digitization. These varying expectations around value require agility throughout CRE functions, in a context where 41% of CRE decision makers report challenges with thinking and investing for the long term due to the pace of organizational change. The same percentage believe CRE is perceived as a cost center, rather than a value driver. Identifying the right metrics and ways to demonstrate value, in addition to strengthening relationships with the C-suite, will ensure CRE is more integrated into the wider business and positioned to quickly adapt to changing priorities – 46% of CRE leaders say influencing and leadership will be critical skills in the future. Technology is also emerging with greater impacts for CRE, as more decision-makers expect to report to business transformation or technology by 2030. CRE leaders believe that 70% of their activities will be at least partially supported through the use of AI by 2030, and a quarter of the CRE function could be initially completed through automation – freeing up time for more strategic work. Nearly two-thirds (62%) of decision makers see technology and AI adoption as critical for enhancing the value that CRE delivers in the future. A ‘future fit' CRE team should focus on high value-add tasks internally, while automation and AI take on routine and repetitive tasks and outsourcing partners are brought in for specialist tasks and individual projects.

What lessons have you learned? This episode features the return visit of Jon Cook, the Global CEO of VML. I interviewed Jon for the first time a year ago, eight months after he had died while going for a run in his neighborhood. Today, he is the CEO of the world's largest advertising agency. We covered a lot of topics during our latest conversation, from the qualities that he brings as a leader, to navigating mergers, to the impact of AI. We also talked about a simple but powerful truth that I think a lot of leaders have a hard time remembering when they're facing stressful situations - that we are already better than we think. Leadership is lonely. It's a cliche because it's true. Those feelings of isolation usually leave our doubts and insecurities to wander through the garden of our minds, unchaperoned. Given enough time and enough space, those insecurities can become a permanent part of our self-image and self-beliefs. Talking to someone who can help us to fully see ourselves is always helpful. Of course, I'd say that. I'm a leadership coach. But we have ways to help ourselves that can be powerful, too. One of the simplest is to look back and to see our past achievements for what they are. Achievements, experiences, skills, and wisdom. And if you take a few moments and you write that list of achievements down, you'll be better prepared, not only to meet this moment, but you'll also be able to quiet the part of you that thinks that nothing you do is ever good enough. Self-awareness is the most powerful asset that any leader can develop. So, make that list right now.
