Meet the experts shaping tomorrow’s workplace.
Every workplace decision starts somewhere: a moment when someone looked at how things were done and chose to do them differently. Expert Advice is where those moments get unpacked. Through candid conversations with the leaders shaping how we work, the series traces the thinking behind the decisions — from how people collaborate to how technology and wellbeing are redefining the workplace itself.
Each feature brings a different vantage point: the trends worth watching, the challenges worth solving, and the lessons that come only from having done the work.
The future workplace is built on more than design.
"I think most people imagine a Managing Director spends the day making big strategic decisions from behind a desk. The reality is quite different."
Najid Nazir traces his journey from architect to Managing Director, exploring the moments that changed his perspective, the leadership lessons gained along the way, and the evolving role of workplace design in business success.
Great spaces are measured by what happens after handover.
"People think handover is the finish line. It isn’t. That’s when the space starts proving whether we got it right."
Joseph reflects on three decades of delivering workplace, healthcare, hospitality and retail projects, exploring why successful spaces go beyond aesthetics, how execution protects design intent, and why the true measure of a project is how people experience it long after completion.
