Work Rebooted Summit: Where design thinking and futures thinking collide.
The future of work is now.

The time is now to re-examine how we think about the nature of work, the concept of employment and what it takes to build a thriving workforce.

How will the next industrial revolution reshape the world of work? For business and people leaders – globalization, technological advances, shifting demographics, ai and workforce automation, stratified workforce expectations and the near extinction of the linear learning path to employment are presenting us with a unique and exciting landscape to navigate. We are the makers of the future and what we do next matters. Work Rebooted, being held February 25-27, 2019 in San Francisco is touted as the “do not miss” national summit of the year for anyone who is creating a sustainable, diverse and agile workforce to meet bottom line business objectives rolling out now. Learn to access elements of design and futures thinking to find hidden talent, reveal untapped employment pathways, create amazing employee experiences, sustainably augment your workforce, and align your brand and culture.

Creating an innovative, different kind of workplace: How employee motivation can drive space design and ultimately the impact of an organization’s brand.

Individuals and companies alike have unique personalities, strengths and motivations. What if we could leverage both for a new kind of workplace experience?
Using a data-driven approach, Liz will be discussing how employees’ unique motivations represent an organization’s brand and how space can be designed to reflect both.

Liz Zurek Beaudry owns Envision, a brand strategy and marketing communications firm. She recently acquired a software tool called MDNA that she uses in her work to measure culture as the foundation for her work. She’s worked with global brands such as the Muhammad Ali Center and the General Motors Foundation, and national brands like Cambria.

Don’t miss this WE Hub, Chicago event – a private tour/presentation/networking event at the new McDonald’s Headquarters in the West Loop. Located on the former site of Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Studios, the new McD HQ is symbolic of the company’s journey to transform its culture and brand with a workplace that supports the ideas of innovation, growth and corporate rebirth. WE will explore the cultural and physical transformation of McDonalds through the perspectives of its leaders in RE, HR, IT and Design. This cross-functional panel will discuss the business drivers, desired outcomes, process used, measurements of success and how the workplace was leveraged to support this shift.

The 550,000 square foot building was developed by Sterling Bay; Gensler served as Architect of Record; interiors were designed by IA Interior Architects and Studio O+A; and the general contractors were McHugh and ECI Executive Construction Inc. This nine-story complex features a McDonald’s restaurant, office, work cafe, fitness center and several outdoor terrace spaces. The facility also hosts a 700-person ‘Hamburger University’ conference center equipped with the latest technology for this LEED Platinum certified building. Importantly, the new facility was designed to enable ‘better listening, learning and engagement’ with their customers while providing a modern, user friendly HQ that fosters collaboration and re-energizes employees.
