Workplace Geeks
The Workplace Yoda | with Rob Harris
In this episode Chris and Ian sit down with someone who has been in the centre of the real estate and workplace sector for four decades! The one and only Rob Harris.
Today Rob is the principal of Ramidus Consulting, a specialist built-environment research and advisory business, as well as Chairman of the BCO Research Committee. However, prior to that, as we hear, Rob has worked for some of the leading lights in the London/UK property and workplace industry (including DEGW!) which is why he’s the perfect person to tell the story of how London went from sixteenth-century coffee houses to the digital and network offices we see today.
What starts off as a conversation about his book, London’s Global Office Economy: From Clerical Factory to Digital Hub and how five ‘ages’ have defined and shaped the UK’s capital, ends up being a broad conversation about design principles, who gave birth to the modern workplace, the role of the ‘branded building’ and Rob telling us how the OG himself, Frank Duffy, called during a bleak break to Scotland to offer him a job at the centre of the workplace universe at DEGW in 1984.
Do not miss our very own Workplace Yoda offering up precious wisdom.
Joined by friend of the show Esme Banks Marr on reflection duty.
