S4 Ep2: Relearning the office: Jeremy Myerson
In this second episode of series 4 I am going to explore how maybe we can begin to understand what the next few years might look like in terms of office design and use and how society perceives work. To help me with this, I discuss with my guest Professor Jeremy Myerson his new book ‘Unworking: The Reinvention of the Modern Office that he co-authored with Phillip Ross. Jeremy is a leading international writer and researcher in design. His specialist areas include inclusive design, the future of work and healthy cities. He is Professor Emeritus in the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at the Royal College of Art and Director of WORKTECH Academy, a global knowledge network looking at the future of work and workplace. He chairs the Learning & Research Committee at the Design Museum in London, and is co-founder and academic lead for the annual Healthy City Design international congress. He has published more than 20 books on different aspects of design, architecture and innovation; his most recent titles include Designing a World for Everyone (2021) and Unworking: The Reinvention of the Modern Office (2022). He has advised businesses and governments on design around the world and sat the advisory boards of design institutes in Korea, Switzerland, UK and Hong Kong. He has curated major exhibitions at the Design Museum (New Old and Doing a Dyson) and the V&A (Rewind: 40 years of Design and Architecture). And its also worth adding that Jeremy is very much in demand with the media for his insights on the future of work. So it is a great privilege to have him on the Decoding Culture Podcast Before we hear more from Jeremy, I want to remind you that my training programme on organisational culture, leadership and team dynamics starts this September.
