In the wake of lock-down, do you still need a traditional office? After all, millions have apparently stayed productive – despite working from home. The result? Many office tenants now see a chance to slash rents by keeping their staff at home – and cutting back on office space. Needless to say, if tenants do shrink their offices en masse, there’s a big ‘ol question mark about the value of office buildings. Not to mention nearby retail and residential. So how big might the move out of traditional office space be? And how might it impact our cities? To help answer these questions, this episode features a conversation with remote working expert, Professor Barbara Larson. Professor Larson is a faculty member at the D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University. And a regular Harvard Business Review contributor. Listen to our conversation now and you’ll learn about: The different kinds of remote work. Which staff are best suited to working remotely. What remote employees need to stay productive. How remote work might shape our cities. What the future holds for the traditional office. And MUCH more.

How to Thrive in Times of Flexible Working and Virtual Collaboration with Barbara Larson

CBO Barbara Larson took a winding road into finance administration. She landed in her executive vice president for finance and administrative services at Johnson County Community College through environmental economics and solar manufacturing. But the allure of the campus was too great to resist, and within a few years, she brought the breadth of her skills to the community college. “I’ve learned to ask questions when I don’t know, and I hope I’m a good listener,” Larson says. “I work hard to understand other people’s perspectives and attempt to contribute where I can.” Her mentor experiences drive her leadership style today, having learned from a past president and career journalist the skills of asking thorough questions to understand complex issues. “Change is a challenge anywhere you go.” At the community college however, “we’re better suited to respond quickly in a continuing education environment. … That’s an advantage we have because the structures are already there.”
