The Impact of Workspaces on Collaboration

Last year, during the ‘Future of Work Conference’, we hosted a panel titled, ‘Is the office dead?’ We were curious if it was time for the office to be reborn. This year, we wanted to continue this conversation and explored whether COVID-19, unlike the Internet, was able to drastically change the layout of our workspaces. Marilyn Zakhour, CEO and Founder of Cosmic Centaurs, was joined by 2 guests who shared their insights on the workspaces of the future, particularly those in what we refer to at Cosmic Centaurs as omnichannel organizations.About the speakers Dr. Agustin (Gus) Chevez has been an Honorary Fellow of Management and Marketing at the University of Melbourne since 2019.
