Future events
What does the future workplace look like in a COVID-19 reality?
Following the British Council for Offices “Wellness Matters” report published in 2018; it’s three authors: Ed Garrod, James Pack, and Will Poole-Wilson revisit its guidance, providing unique insights into the current and future challenges of the workplace and adapting it within a COVID-19 context.
We have all been disrupted by digital and tech, where the current pandemic has only accelerated workplace change. The organisations who are coming out the other end of the pandemic are the ones who have taken on digital and workspace transformation most successfully and aggressively. The team will discuss accelerated workspace design and the need to be agile, be collaborative but also be brave.

This programme was developed into an assessment method which James christened ‘Ska Rating‘. In 2009 Ska Rating was assigned to the RICS, which continues to this day to provide quality assurance and training to support the scheme.
In 2012 James founded Sentinel RPI; a sustainability management consultancy, to work with building owners, occupiers and service providers, to influence and implement sustainability strategies and to deliver healthy, productive and efficient workplaces. With expertise in both corporate real estate and construction, Sentinel can articulate the benefits of various environmental approaches to clients, their advisors and delivery teams alike to ensure projects achieve the best outcomes within the available budgets.
