WORKTECH25 London preview | Full-spectrum leadership, self-driving orgs & spatial legibility
We're back with a WORKTECH Events special, this time previewing one of our favourite workplace events of the year: WORKTECH London, taking place this year on 18 and 19 November 2025. We'll be on stage too, back by (surprisingly) popular demand with our 'Workplace Geeks Mock the Workplace Week' panel show. Yay!

WORKTECH Events bring together the brightest minds in work, workplace, technology and innovation across a global calendar, and we’ve got an exclusive preview of three cracking sessions coming your way this November:
First up, Nicholas Janni, co-founder of Matrix Development talks to us about his professional life's passion, full-spectrum intelligence, a approach that integrates body, heart, mind, and soul. In a western world that seems to celebrate intellect above all, how can we adapt our leadership to better deal with the systemic challenges that face us?
Next up, futurist, urbanist and author Greg Lindsay challenges our appreciation of the future of work and asks, as we advance towards self-driving vehicles and a world of autonomous everything: what will AI agent-powered self-driving organisations look like, and what will that do to work as we know it?
Finally, Tim Fendley, founder and creative director of Applied Information Group invites us to consider the idea of spatial legibility, and it's role in both our efficient navigation of complex space, and our sense of belonging.
So, if these three short chats are anything to go by, it's going to be a cracking event! See you there...
