Businesses leaders this year have many new challenges—and with them new opportunities. While some are figuring out the ideal number of days on-site, others are hosting engaging workplace events. While some are figuring out what to do with unused office space, others are figuring out how to set up hot desking. One thing is certain though: businesses are redefining their workplace strategy.

I had the honor of interviewing Connie Steels, Co-Founder and Principal of Flywheel Associates, a business strategy, marketing, and operations consultancy and future of work think tank. she is an author of “Building the Business of you” and have been working with F500, scale-ups and start-up companies, she focuses on helping clients breakthrough business inertia by putting strategy into action.
