Future Workplaces Summit Post Interview – Johnny Dunford
Early this month we had the FUTURE Workplaces Summit in Prague, Czech Republic. The summit gathered business leaders, influencers and thinkers to discuss the latest workplace innovations. In addition, discussing how to improve the preparation of future workplaces in creating an enjoyable, productive, flexible and human-driven workplace environment.
Johnny Dunford is the Global Corporate Solutions & Senior Director at BNP Paribas Real Estate, one of our expert speakers who discussed 'Productivity in the Workplace - How to Add Value' and its traditional cost-oriented approach.
We briefly interviewed Johnny Dunford on his first FUTURE Workplace Summit.
- What did you think of the event and what were the main highlights for you?
Really good, I like Gorge Muir and Ron Bakker's presentations and the opportunity to think about what the future looks like for the property industry.
- Can you briefly elaborate on Lmi that you presented at the summit?
I presented the Leesman index and the way we use it as a tool to measure workplace effectiveness. We have found that occupiers do not have easy to understand systems for measuring how well the workplace supports activities that are going on within the workplace. The Lessman Index provides an independent system that provides tools for comparison across different buildings, locations and industries.
Unlike internal surveys or staff satisfaction measures, Leesman provides a benchmark against and over 200,000 responses. BNP Paribas Real Estate use it to shape the way we develop a portfolio strategy, we have a unique way of developing and SWOT analysis that is easy to interpret and popular occupiers.
If you were predicting which issues will be the most prominent ones in the workplace transformation 10 years from now, what would those be?
