Head of Technology Strategy, Steve Gale took part in two of the leading Australian workspace conferences — the Workplace Strategy Summit NSW and WORKTECH Sydney. He discussed how global changes have driven the rapid evolution of workspaces, exploring digitally enabled workplace solutions to help organisations adapt and thrive in a dynamic environment.
Steve illustrated how, by analysing quantitative and qualitative data, workspaces can be strategically designed and engineered to meet occupant needs at specific times. An invisible digital layer that helps assess and understand spaces, identify efficiencies and quickly adapt to improve real-estate performance.
From determining space needs to supporting hybrid work and ESG reporting, workplace technology enhances safety, sustainability and human experience. Through continuous feedback and analysis, such solutions help maximise space use, enabling leaders to create flexible, dynamic workspaces that adapt to evolving realities. A recent project for HSBC in New York exemplifies this. A data-driven digital twin was implemented to optimise building performance, improve efficiency and support sustainable operations, leading to significant cost savings.

Meeting rooms, focus areas and breakout zones are positioned around the base of the staircase to encourage spontaneous interactions and collaboration. The world is increasingly digital, but the workplace industry is still very analogue – this will need to change as organisations evolve.
