  • Great podcast about the future of the workplace

    Maybe I’m biased because Mike’s guests include some brilliant minds I’ve had the privilege or working with or whom I’ve respected from afar. Or maybe I’m biased because I’ve had the pleasure of being a guest on Workplace Innovator.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 412: "Where the Design Should Start" – Aligning Workplace Experience with Organizational Strategy with Beth Goff-McMillan of SKG and FOLIO
Q: What would you suggest when it comes, especially to an FM leader who maybe isn't in HR or specifically in charge of policy, but they certainly have an influence on the space, what would you tell them they should be focused on?
Focus on understanding the human side and fostering a strong collaboration with HR and other leaders. Build relationships with department managers to align space with business goals, ask the right questions, and use a shared story to drive employee engagement and a better space solution.
Ep. 408: "Be More Human" – Embracing AI, Robotics and the Future of Workplace Strategy with Kevin Sauer, MCR.w of Nhance.ai & Sauer Strategy Works, LLC
Q: Can you share an inspirational quote or book that has guided you in this space?
Henry Ford's idea that you should ask customers what they want beyond faster horses, to pursue a better, faster way to achieve outcomes; the takeaway is to always listen to the why and look for transformative improvements rather than simply iterating on the status quo.
Ep. 408: "Be More Human" – Embracing AI, Robotics and the Future of Workplace Strategy with Kevin Sauer, MCR.w of Nhance.ai & Sauer Strategy Works, LLC
Q: What do you think we should be focused on here in the middle of 2026, Kevin?
The big focus is making AI usable and fluent for everyday work, with an emphasis on practical implementation, like using research agents to gather and summarize weekly content, and robots to take over repetitive tasks so humans can focus on higher-value work.
Ep. 407: "Stay Curious" – Using Smart & Adaptive Technologies to Build People-Centric Workplace Experiences with Daniel Grilli of VECOS
Q: How should organizations approach data and technology to reduce risk and improve adaptability?
Start with the end goal in mind, treat every technology project as a people project, and use data to test, learn, and adapt; if systems aren't delivering, cut the cord and move on to more integrated, agile solutions.
Ep. 407: "Stay Curious" – Using Smart & Adaptive Technologies to Build People-Centric Workplace Experiences with Daniel Grilli of VECOS
Q: What are Daniel Grilli's top priorities for mid-2026 when engaging with clients?
Daniel emphasizes moving from assumption-based design to evidence-based decisions, focusing on interoperability among systems, and using data to guide and optimize workplace experiences rather than rigidly sticking to legacy setups.
