About this episode

Arnold Levin is Director of Strategy at Gensler where he is combining experience in design strategy and organizational design to help clients solve the right problem. Mike Petrusky asks Arnold his current views on the world of work and why he believes that workplace problems and solutions are organizational issues, not physical ones. They explore how the physical workplace is just one of many tools that organizations have and while the pandemic has led to a shift in workplace strategies for some organizations, many are returning to pre-pandemic practices. Arnold says that successfully adopting hybrid work models should be based on the specific needs and functions of the organization, rather than following trends and challenges that our workplace profession has failed to take a leadership role in guiding organizations through these changes. Listen to hear the inspiration that you need to break out of your comfort zone and become a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
