As the open-concept office proliferated, people took work away from the office to find quieter places where they could think. It's no surprise to me that millions of people have fallen in love with working from home. But, if we need to be in the office, shouldn't we have the option of neurologically safe spaces. You will have heard a lot about that with HoK design principals in episode 2.

David O'Coimin, CEO of The DO Company joins Bold Founder, Caleb Parker, to discuss the ingredients of neuro-inclusive spaces, and his workspace invention called Nook. As Space moves from product to service, it's crucial that we understand our customers and we put them at the center of the universe. Employees have never been more empowered to tell their companies what they want from their workplace like they are today. When we have the choice, we're only going to work in an office if that's where we do our best work. So it's important to create spaces that give people superpowers, and companies agility. In this episode David explains the difference between hyper-sensitive and hypo-sensitive people, and why this matters to creating a desired user experience. We learn about the most important work setting, and how the DO Company makes furniture for offices without having an office themselves.

The key to productivity is creating office environments that are connected and flexible so people can tap in and personalise their workspace for the exact work they're doing in that moment. The formula of an inclusive space is the personalisation of office products to individual needs through the integration of digital services into physical products Light has a profound effect on our brain's ability to process information, so giving users the ability to control their own lighting impacts productivity The ingredients of a neuro-inclusive space include a variety of work settings The most important work setting is quiet space Resources Toby Mildon: https://www.mildon.co.uk/ Neurodiversity at Work by Theo Smith (and Amanda Kirby): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neurodiversity-Work-Performance-Productivity-Neurodiverse/dp/1398600245 Kay Sargent, Director of WorkPlace, HOKhttps://www.hok.com/people/leadership/view/kay-sargent/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kay-sargent-53b2431 The Good Ancestor: https://www.romankrznaric.com/good-ancestor The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century by George Friedman: https://www.amazon.com/Next-100-Years-Forecast-Century/dp/0767923057 Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quiet-Power-Introverts-World-Talking/dp/0141029196 About David O'Coimin David is Founder and CEO of The Do Company.

We have the world’s attention if all we do is address the things that are immediately at hand, and we ignore the things that weren’t working before, and we ignore the things that are on the horizon. This absolutely will be our Kodak moment, and our industry will be in a world of hurt. But we have the options and the ability to see that to embrace the change and to make some fundamental pivotal shifts in the way we work in the way we deliver space and the way we think about it, that we may not have again, for a long time."So I implore everybody to think big to think beyond just the immediate crisis at hand, don’t be reactive, but really, truly address all of those things that we need to be to move us forward as an industry."

What factors do a global architect, engineer, and design firm consider when creating a space for a company? Listen to these fascinating insights from Kay Sargent, Director of WorkPlace at HOK.
The buzz: “Modern Corporate Real Estate Management can surely contribute to the transformation of real estate from being a mere ‘cost of doing business' to a true value generator” (servicefutures.com). Of the $25T in U.S. real estate assets, $10T+ is owned by non-real-estate companies, municipalities, and institutions. For most of them, it is the second largest balance sheet item and operating cost. Yet most C-Suites overlook the earnings and optimization potential of capital dedicated to real estate. The experts speak. David Wilk, Colliers International: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts” (Winston Churchill). Kay Sargent, HOK: “A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world” (John le Carré). Thomas Anderson, SAP: “Do more than belong; participate … Do more than believe; practice … Do more than dream; work” (William Arthur Ward).

Mike Petrusky launched this podcast in the fall of 2016 with little understanding of where the show might go and who would be listening. If a few friends from the Capital Chapter of IFMA tuned in, he thought, that would be an incredible compliment and a lot of fun. But now, just a year and half and over 80 episodes later, with thousands of monthly downloads from around the world, Mike reflects on what he has learned and is thankful for the amazing adventure this podcast journey has been! The workplace is evolving rapidly and we are not just dealing with simple changes, but transformational ones, so we must be in the business of rethinking the ways we care for the built environment. We know that technology is advancing incredibly fast and cultural shifts are significant, so FM professionals must focus on building a true culture of collaboration and creating trusted partnerships in order to succeed now and into the future. Mike reminisces about the inspirational leadership lessons he has learned from his many past guests on the show and he shares some of the highlights with you.
