Summary.   

Sandy Speicher is CEO of IDEO, the design-thinking consulting firm that helped revolutionize how the business world thinks about innovation. She discusses how companies can design future workplaces and work processes to thrive amid the disruptions of the past few years. We know that people need each other and that relationships matter, she says. And we know that there are many ways to build relationships,  in physical and virtual spaces. She asks how our spaces can become learning labs so companies can give employees a reason—not just a regulation—to come in.
