The Future of Work: A Horizon Scan

NeoCon Presentation Description: The future is continually in flux. Changes happening today will be reflected in the future environment. Horizon Scanning is a comprehensive, systematic and long-term overview of all impactful futures knowledge. It allows us to continuously assess trends, challenges and opportunities, and re-prioritize accordingly. In this 60-minute presentation, we will explore key findings of an ongoing futures horizon scan of emerging workplace trends. Key insights shared will empower professionals to shape and oversee tomorrow's workspace. The analysis reveals six critical drivers of change - shifting workforce demographics, economic precarity, rapid technological advancement, higher education disruptions, climate volatility, and geopolitical shifts - that will fundamentally reshape how we conceptualize, design, and utilize commercial real estate through 2030 and beyond.
