In a post lockdown world, work has changed forever. So why haven’t workspaces?
Ex-head of Corporate Real Estate at BBC, Chris Kane is an expert in unlocking the value of spaces to make work a more efficient and rewarding place to be. Now, he’s written a book to explore some of the bold new solutions to workplace practices that could invigorate employee productivity, while trimming excess costs.
Advisor
The property world can be adversarial. Suppliers of offices don’t always understand clients’ needs. Clients don’t always know how to get the best from their workspaces. Having operated as both client and supplier, in both the private and public sectors and as a non-executive director for a number of years, Chris Kane has a unique, 360º perspective on the issues affecting the property world. His expert advice and consultancy can enable stakeholders to get the most from their workplaces and property portfolios.
Advocate
Governments around the world have set stringent environmental targets, yet commercial buildings have a huge carbon footprint. This is just one of the compelling reasons why we need to see the big picture and inspire change. Chris Kane’s presentations and thought-leadership pieces deliver a fresh perspective on how we work and suggest a way forward to rethink the built environment. The debate opens out to wider and more complex issues, including how we live, learn and play.
