Raising the bar (and hell) with Antony Slumbers

Over a well-earned but unseasonable G&T, Antony Slumbers and Mark Eltringham discuss what makes work and workplaces great, and why bosses aren’t doing all they can to make them so. They also riff on the origins and wisdom of determining how much time people should spend in an office and how we escape the interminable binary loop of headlines about whether the home or the office is a better place to work. Antony talks about the role of AI in the future of work and property and what people should focus on in their changing lives.

Antony is a globally recognised speaker, advisor and writer on PropTech and space-as-a-service. A serial entrepreneur, he has founded and exited several PropTech software companies and now consults real estate boards around the world on their transformation, technology and innovation strategies. You can find his blog at antonyslumbers.com. He teaches the online #GenerativeAIforRealEstatePeople course – details at antonyslumbers.com/course

He speaks internationally on ‘#SpaceasaService: The Trillion Dollar Hashtag’, #GenerativeAIforRealEstatePeople, Innovation, and the future of Cities, Work and the Workplace.

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.
