CIOB Lecture with Despina Katsikakis – AI and the Reorganisation of Work and Place: Opportunities for the built environment
Description
Summary:
Everybody is desperate to figure out how best to leverage the benefits of AI in their work. In construction, a sector known for stagnant levels of productivity, the prize is especially enticing.
But what if we turned the telescope around and looked at the challenge from a more fundamental perspective – the way we organise ourselves and our workplaces? What lessons can construction learn from other sectors that are using AI to reimagine how changing the way they get stuff done will impact their workplaces and real estate decisions?
Over the past 40 years, Despina Katsikakis has led the innovation and implementation of transformative workplace environments for prominent global businesses. As Executive Partner and Global Chair Strategic Consulting for Cushman & Wakefield, Despina provides expertise across the firm’s global business on how rapidly changing technology is impacting employee engagement, well-being, and the future role of the office.
Despina brings this vast global experience to bear in this year’s Sir James Wates lecture, a series known for offering challenging yet constructive advice for the built environment sector.
