In this final episode of the series, Chris and Ian are joined by… erm… Chris and Ian?!
Let’s try that again. It’s the last show of season two, so in an exciting plot twist, Chris Moriarty and Ian Ellison hand the interviewer reins over to seasoned reflection section guest and friend of the show, the wonderful Esme Banks Marr. This is so they can dig deep into the ideas and theory behind their most recent conceptual paper ‘A new hope: A holistic framework for understanding workplace experience’, co-written with Dr James Pinder, and published summer 2022 in Corporate Real Estate Journal (volume 11, number 4).
Esme steers the discussion from the power of language to influence our diverse understanding and experiences of workplace, through the theories underpinning the different but interlinked elements of the framework (namely people and culture, work locations and spaces, work technology and tools, and the resultant business performance impacts), and finally to its potential value and applications. There’s an obligatory visit to the Frank Duffy Appreciation Society along the way, a pithy explanation of ‘ontology’, and at least two explanations for why ‘A new hope’ is key to the title of the paper. Pay attention, young workplace grasshopper.
