OBA SPACE DEBATE SERIES PROGRAM | Original Program Date: October 13, 2021

As most law firms shift to a more robust hybrid work environment, law firm leaders are engaged in the great space debate:  assessing and reassessing the size, location and configuration of office space. Most importantly, how can the office space be redesigned to grow efficient, productive and engaged hybrid teams, as well as deliver excellent client service?  The way we have been looking at use of space in our office environments must change.  Join us for the second session in a series of programs offering insight into creative design solutions for your office space.

Tara Whittington, Architecture and Design Manager and Workplace Leader, will share strategic insight into how to transform your space into a thriving workplace.  More specifically:

• Work From Home / Work From Anywhere is here to stay.   
• The office is the heart of the organization.  It is a destination that supports culture, collaboration, socialization and knowledge sharing.
• Collaboration is key.  A variety of modes of collaboration mixed with settings for deep focus work.
• Flexible spaces with furniture that is nimble and adaptable to accommodate future change.
• To support phygital (physical and digital) collaboration and meetings, technology will be important.
• Your physical space must address needs of clients, consultants and colleagues from other locations in new ways.

Join us for this creative and engaging session!
