Ep. 3 - Trailblazing the Future: Steering Workplace Innovation - with Lisa Picard
from CRE Unplugged: Innovating from the Streets to the Skyline · host Nadine Ezzie + Ryan Elazari
In this much anticipated episode, we sit down with industry visionary Lisa Picard, a commercial real estate pioneer with a resume longer than a CVS receipt. With two MIT degrees, Lisa curated an incomparable career path from EVP at Skanska to CEO of EQ Office, to now emerging out of stealth mode with her next venture (which she reveals exclusively with us!). Lisa shares how cycling is her metaphor for life, inspiring her to stay the course one step at a time. Lisa is widely known and revered for her incredible ability to design office spaces that inspire the people that occupy them. We go deep into how innovation will enable smaller companies to take on the goliaths of the industry and tips on how to effectively deploy technology (hint: don’t pull the plug on your existing ways too fast!) If you don’t think value lies in coming into the office, you might want to think again after Lisa walks us through the learning that can happen when you stay close to leadership. We wrap it up with Lisa’s advice she would give to younger Lisa. Tune in for wisdom and laughs from one of the industry’s greatest!Show Notes:0:10: Ryan and Nadine’s summer adventures / PropTech Competition recap10:35: Introducing Lisa Picard11:00: The impact of cycling on Lisa's life20:01: Lisa's career journey31:08: How innovation can level the playing field / reveal of her next venture, Oxygen33:53: Lisa’s perspective on the office market / the payoff for staying close to leadership44:48: Creating future spaces for work that inspire collaboration / constant learning47:30: Skills needed by workers in today's world1:00:52: How innovation creates new asset classes1:19:45: Lisa's advice to her younger self1:25:16: Postgame recapIf you love what you hear, please take a moment to rate and review us.
