WORK Then PLACE
Is your workplace built for how we work today-or stuck in the way we worked yesterday?The world of work changed overnight in 2020, when COVID-19 forced millions of corporate employees to work from home-yet many organizations have still not adapted to the new standards of modern work. Since then, we've lived through the Great Work From Home Experiment, the Great Resignation, the Great Reshuffle, and now find ourselves grappling with the Age of AI. While most workplace debates still focus on where people work, the more important question is how work actually happens, and how places support work.WORK then PLACE redefines the workplace for the 21st century.

This book provides a clear and adaptable guide to developing a workplace strategy that aligns with business goals, helps employees thrive at work, and evolves alongside your company.With WORK then PLACE, you'll learn how to: Distinguish between the work your company does and the places (physical, digital, and experiential) that support it.Develop a workplace strategy that centers workflows and the people who power them.Use practical frameworks and decision-making methods to define and evolve your approach.Navigate hybrid work, AI shifts, cultural transformation, and the growing demand for adaptability and purpose.Measure effectiveness and drive meaningful change that enables employee success, rather than just requiring compliance.What you won't find in WORK then PLACE: Prescriptive formulas, nostalgia for the pre-pandemic Before Times, justification for half-baked RTO policies, or stale remote vs. office debates.

Our approaches must, too.Written by workplace transformation and employee experience experts Sara Escobar and Corinne Murray, WORK then PLACE distills decades of real-world experience into an approachable, provocative guide for anyone shaping work and workplaces today.

Resurgent
A practical handbook examining how established businesses can use their unique advantages to fight back and win in a digital arena too often dominated by tech start-ups, disruptors and unicorns. The big tech companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft) have had an enormous impact on our everyday lives. A new wave of start-ups in the tech sector has dominated the press and swallowed up huge amounts of investment. But what about those established companies in the traditional parts of the world's economies, from energy, industrial and consumer goods to travel and health? They rarely got a mention. Everyone was talking about the disrupters - the start-ups and the entrepreneurs - and not about the incumbents. This book is a call for a reality check. For at the core of our established companies are capabilities and qualities that remain highly relevant in the digital age. They are often market leaders for very good reasons - they know their customers and markets well, and they have great product, sales and marketing expertise. They are operationally savvy and financially strong, with deep insights into areas of expertise that no one else has, giving them a unique advantage. John Fallon and Julian Birkinshaw have come to a clear conclusion: incumbents are not going quietly into that dark night. Organizations will need to jettison their analogue baggage and infrastructure and embrace digital transformation. They will survive and they will prosper. And this shows how they are doing it.
The Chief Event Officer's Playbook

They have the power to inspire world leaders, change government policy and transform the conversation in sectors from immunology to indigenous rights. But creating such purposeful, transformational events is a strategic, not a tactical undertaking. The Chief Event Officer's Playbook sets out a blueprint for designing the new generation of events: envisioning the narrative, articulating the purpose and curating the content.Drawing on her decades of experience across a wide range of events - media-owned, commercial events, corporate, non-profit and association - Sasha Frieze has created the essential guide for CevOs, aspiring CevOs, Event Directors and Planners, CMOs, boards and anyone involved in delivering business and professional events.
