Did Google get it wrong? Is the open-office trend really destroying the workplace? Workplace strategist Asaël Akkerman challenges the stereotypes, arguing we should embrace the complex, multi-layered reality the workplace actually represents. He urges us to look beneath the surface and always look at the data to get a proper diagnosis. Hear him talk about:

• The changing nature of work and the implications for the workplace
• Employees becoming ‘space customers’
• Research on building performance (or should we say ‘underperformance’?)
• Workplace dimensions (physical, sensory and service environments)
• Taking into account the individuality of building users
• Technology to create a fully responsive building
