Class of 2020-2021
The Future of Work
The Larson Center for Leadership graduated cohort class of 2020-2021 completed their TAP project on “The Future of Work.” In October 2020, the Urban Land Institute in partnership with Ernst & Young conducted a study to explore a global real estate player’s point of view on the Future of Work and its impact on real estate. 555 respondents were surveyed across all sectors of the land use industry. The study’s key findings included:
- Future of Work will be more remote, digital and flexible
- Massive changes in the business model of office real estate
- Over the short term, real estate players expect more uncertainty, flexibility and reduction of office space
- Over the longer term, real estate players expect offices and city centers to play a new role and prove their HR value
- Remote work will make the quality of real estate be even more critical
- Work will be fully embedded in real estate and our cities
After reviewing the ULI and EY report the 8th Larson Cohort was divided into five groups to further explore five main topics for “The Future of Work”, these topics included:
- Adapting and Repurposing Obsolete Office Spaces
- The Health and Well-being of Buildings
- Flexibilty and “Third Spaces”
- Corporate Culture and Identity
- Talent Recruitment and Retention
