Corporate + Workplace Market Leader, Michelle Jones, highlights a forward-looking, optimistic approach to workplace design for the new year.

The acronym “Ciao” — Curate, Iterate, Activate, and Optimism — frames a strategy for navigating shifting workplace expectations, technological advancements, and economic changes.

  • Curate: Design spaces that reflect culture, embrace inclusivity, and adapt to regional needs.
  • Iterate: Use data, pilot projects, and blended strategies to refine workplaces effectively.
  • Activate: Foster connection and engagement through purposeful spaces, amenities, and programming.
  • Optimism: Create workplaces that inspire human connection, collaboration, and progress by balancing data and emotional needs.

This vision encourages organizations to build meaningful, adaptable, and engaging work environments that resonate with employees and align with broader societal trends.
