    Episode 10 | Let's Talk: Harnessing the Power of Early Tech Integration

    Welcome back to another episode of the Let's Talk Podcast. This week our host Oliver and Managing Director, Douglas Drummond, sit down with Pearce Hewitt, Sales Manager at Unified Microsystems, as they discuss integrating technology solutions in the design phase of a project.  If you’re wondering if Alexa might just pop up in your office soon, we start off the episode by diving into the buzzworthy topic of ‘Internet of Things (IoT)’ as they discuss trends in hospitality and commercial spaces, and why it's so crucial to bring in tech companies early during the design phase. With the pandemic changing the way we work, with some of us now in a hybrid work model, we're discussing how IT has adapted, the challenges it brings, and sharing insights from occupancy and utilisation studies into the systems deployed by WeWork, highlighting the need for data-informed design.  The Tech industry is known for not being sustainable because of the way they manufacture technological parts, so we dive in to find out if there are any changes being adopted to make the process more sustainable. Moving into the shadows, they uncover the dark side of AI and how technology companies are handling it with care. But tech isn't just about AI though, so we explore other technologies that are currently making waves in understanding space usage and occupancy. Ever wondered what's the first piece of tech you encounter when you walk into an office space? They're here to share the IT advancements and the most common issues people face in those environments. And lastly, the burning question: How can we get WiFi right, especially when we have high-speed connection? Listen in as they clear the air on this topic.  If you're looking into new ways to use technology to grow your company and evolve operations, then this episode is for you.

    Episode 8 | Let's Talk: Designing For Productivity

    In this episode of the ‘Let’s Talk’ podcast, Oliver sits down with Martin Harris, Boeing's Manager for Global Real Estate (IMEAT & APAC), to dive into the art of creating sustainable and productive workspaces. We kick-off the conversation with a shared concern for numerous companies: what to do with all that extra office space? We also explore how companies expanding across the world can adapt their global office standards to regional offices striking a balance between consistency and local preferences or perceptions. In the post-COVID world, the importance of primary office locations is shifting. Proximity to similar businesses is becoming less crucial, and we examine whether Dubai is following the trend of satellite offices. We also discuss privacy in open offices and how we can tweak spaces to fit various work styles and needs. And, of course, we'll dig into the tech and AI tools that are shaping how we utilise these spaces. But that's not all, Martin shares the importance of a holistic approach to office space and fit-out, extending beyond furniture and the importance of communication. Tune in now to find out the 'how' of achieving workplace goals which is just as crucial as the 'what’ and create workspaces that truly meet the needs of your workforce.
