Work 20XX with Jeff Frick

Jack (John) M Nilles coined the term ‘Telecommuting’ when describing the trade-offs between using the phone and commuting. After the first 20 years of his career coordinating interdisciplinary technology teams in the development of top-secret optical systems for satellites and NASA, and spurred by a Santa Barbara urban planner's challenge, ‘If you can put a man on the moon, why don’t you do something about traffic?’ As the University of Southern California's first director for Interdisciplinary Research, he assembled various disciplines to study and validate Jack’s hypothesis that technology enabled tasks to be done in new ways, starting with trading telecommunications for commuting. The development of the Policy on the Telecommunications-Transportation Tradeoff, 1974 Final Report (and book in 1976), was based on work with an insurance company, who wanted to reduce their ridiculously high turnover. This research is the basis for over 50 years of work invested in advancing distributed work in a world where ‘technology was never the issue; there were always more people who could do it than managers who would allow them to.’ Please join me in welcoming Jack Nilles to Work 20XX. I was thrilled beyond belief when Jack accepted my invitation. Ninety-one years young, still actively blogging and posting on the topic, what a treat to hear the story of how all this got started.

Michelle Ossmann, PhD, MSN started her career as a Nurse practitioner, delivering services to patients in need. She saw an opportunity to use design to better support more patients at scale, and just as importantly, the Nurse practitioners and other health care team members who face a storm of beeps, flashes, and technology intersecting with the care and emotions of the hospital ward. As part of this work, she took a deep dive into the fundamental literature around hospitality, something that is deeply ingrained in human culture, across continents, religions, and time. It’s a set of shared values, fundamental to the human experience, and sharing food and breaking bread is the third of three attributes that define it. Please join me in welcoming Michelle Ossmann to Work 20XX I heard Michelle at another webinar (Thanks Mark Catchlove), and was so excited she accepted the invitation to share her knowledge with the Work 20XX community. The host-guest, hospitality frameworks are generalizable across several applications and a useful framework for those feeling challenged by the evolving workplace landscape.

Please join me in welcoming Nellie Hayat, Workplace Innovation Lead, Density, and Host of the Beyond Work Conversations Podcast to Work 20XX. What a treat to share the mic with podcast host who has wholeheartedly embraced the good vibes of the workplace ecosystem. And when it comes to positive energy, this guest literally lights up the room on her arrival, in person or online. We cover a wide range of topics starting with her move to workplace from stops in fashion to aerospace. She's a seasoned traveler, who values experience with cultures all over the world. And since languages, dialects, and accents vary place to place, Nellie has turned this communication challenge into an operating principle of being more aware, and paying more attention, when listening carefully to people speaking. And being aware that people might have a challenge with her accent, and take that into consideration. She prides herself on being a generalist, able to bring the best of prior experiences into new fields. And she's certainly an original. Thanks again Nellie.

It’s like Airbnb and WeWork had a baby but with less drama. That’s a simple summary of Radious. pro from CEO and Co-Founder Amina Moreau. She moved from film and photography through marketing into co-defining the workplace future. As an Airbnb host during the pandemic with inventory to move and dirty laundry stacking up, she invented Radious. Radious offered a solution with residences outfitted with business amenities less than a commute away for workers. Or these residences can serve as an offsite adventure experience. As they used to say, there’s a property for that. We discussed the growing piece of a more flexible on-demand real estate portfolio, her entrepreneurial journey, the special magic of starting a marketplace from zero, and of course, her awesome home studio setup.

Julie Whelan and the research team at CBRE have published the latest edition of the US Office Occupier Sentiment Survey to share insights into the current state of the office market. There have been significant changes since our last conversation, coming out of the pandemic in the summer of 20222. Organizations have become more declarative in setting and communicating policies regarding the number of days employees are expected to be present in the office. Directions, recommendations, or mandates, even those with an 'office first' approach do not expect teams to come in five days a week. When it comes to the health of office buildings, the age-old rule of "location, location, location" still applies. Mixed-use submarkets that host a variety of business and residential profiles, as well as multiple economic drivers, tend to be more attractive, and active, with less crime. Office buildings located in these healthier communities are doing better than those in less vibrant submarkets, like overly office-dense central business districts.  Julie and I delve into the implications for office, commercial real estate, and facilities professionals, while also highlighting ways to enhance the effectiveness of those responsible for driving business outcomes.  Thanks again Julie.
