Space Connect's Matt Pope and Matt Makan claim no access to a crystal ball!

But their candid discussion around the future of the workspace, post lockdown restrictions, post-Covid, and beyond, shows there are decisions workspace managers need to be thinking about right now, to be future-proofed. 

Flexibility requirements of workspace solutions for future-proofing

"Organisations will start to think about both the short and long term solutions they require, and to look for flexibility" says Matt Pope.

Technology that enables workspace managers to plan for now, for post-Covid, and beyond needs to enable that level of flexibility.

• Easily configurable
• Easily re-configurable, as an organisation's demands chnage
• Easily scalable - both up and down
• Highly flexible terms and pricing models

A post-Covid return to workspace optimisation

"Key to this will be producing data-driven strategies for how a workplace will look now and in the future" says Matt Makan.

• Understanding how workspaces are actually used
• How long workspaces are used for
• Which kind of space is likely to be in greater demand
• How spaces can reflect the changing, current and future demands of a workforce
