In this episode of What the F* is Happening to the Office?, Phil Kirschner explains why the workplace has become one of the biggest blind spots in modern organizations—and what leaders are getting wrong.
At major conferences, CFOs, CHROs, and CIOs shape strategy, but rarely discuss the workplace. Meanwhile, workplace and real estate conversations happen without them.
So who actually owns the workplace?
This isn’t a design issue—it’s a leadership problem.
Inside the Episode:
- Why workplace strategy keeps getting ignored at the top
- The real reason offices feel generic and underperform
- Why companies are “fixing the past” instead of building the future
- The hidden conflict between HR, IT, Finance, and Real Estate
- Who should own the workplace (and why no one does)
- What the workplace should actually be doing today
