WEBINAR | Managed workspace – what does it actually mean? | June 5th, 11:00 – 12:00 BST |

NEW ULN Webinar Postcards (15)
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hosted by ULN editor George Sell

Managed workspace has become something of a buzzword in the office space but it can mean different things to different people. In this webinar, we looked at where managed workspace sits between the wild west of hot-desking and the rigid shell and core of traditional leasing.

We discovered:
• How managed spaces allow for corporate branding and bespoke layouts
• Why traditional landlords are now launching their own plug-and-play managed brands to compete with flex-operators 
• Moving from CAPEX to OPEX
• How to offer the right level of flexibility
• What investors think and where they are deploying funds
• The tech needed for up-to-the-minute managed spaces
• Wellness, sustainability and ESG 

With thanks to:
