Going with the flow … with Domino Risch

Domino Risch uses her new found freedom to discuss the limitations of relying on a single place to get work done. Sharing a hot drink separated by numerous time zones, she chats with Mark Eltringham about what firms get wrong about hybrid and in-office work, the best places to have ideas and how hard the modern world makes it to achieve flow states. They discuss the potential of anthropology to change the way we work. And what the current news about Deutsche Bank’s insistence people come into the office on Mondays and Fridays tells us about the avoidable tensions that exist in the tedious debate about remote work and so-called return to office mandates.

Domino Risch recently left her role with Hassell to pursue her passion for work and workplaces in new ways. She is an internationally recognised work futurist and passionate advocate for the evolution of modern work, Domino is a workplace designer and highly experienced communicator and creator with over two decades experience leading organisations through complex change processes. Her portfolio of completed workplaces, published writing and public speaking content consistently demonstrate her purpose – to make the experience of work more human.

With a proven track record in leveraging cutting edge research, evidence-based data and stakeholder feedback to shape strategies & design outcomes, her expertise is highly valued in leading multi-disciplinary teams and providing strategic advice & guidance to organisations that is fundamentally aligned with organisational, cultural and future focused business objectives. Together with a personal interest in supporting and designing for neurodiversity, she has positively influenced the experience of work for thousands of people in many world leading organisations.

The Workplace Cocktail Hour is brought to you in partnership with The Workplace Event. Each episode looks at the major workplace related news stories from the last week or so. There’ll be no editing, the episode is recorded in real time at the end of the day, so we’ll be talking straight and reacting to current news and events. Each week’s guest is invited to nominate a topic for discussion and a drink for us to share. Doesn’t have to be alcoholic but the intention is to talk like normal, informed humans over a shared drink. At some point, we’ll be doing it in person.

If you’d like to take part in what we hope is an informed, intelligent and maybe challenging series, we’d love to hear from you.

All of the Workplace Insight podcasts are available on Soundcloud, Amazon, Apple, Spotify and iTunes.
