March 2018: Site Tour – Access Canberra
One of the highlights of the 2017 CoreNet Government Workplace Symposium held in Canberra last year was a presentation by Craig Simmons, Director Access Canberra from the ACT Government on the ground-breaking Access Canberra workplace in the Cosmopolitan Building in Woden. There was considerable interest expressed in this project and so Access Canberra have agreed to host a site visit to be held on 27 March 2018.
For those that did not attend the Symposium, the Access Canberra fit out at the Cosmopolitan Building in Woden is the largest Activity-Based Working workplace that the ACT Government has completed as part of its new accommodation strategy.
Cosmo as it is called by the members of the Access Canberra community is unlike any other building used by the ACT Government and deliberately so. From the moment you first step into the building you are aware that this is not the “public service” that you might imagine. |

August 2018: Canberra Half Day Government Symposium
Government Workplaces - Digitally Integrating People, Place and Process
As digital working continues to evolve, and office generations become more diverse in terms of cultural background, gender and age, new workplace models are emerging that challenge traditional perceptions about Government workplace, approaches to its procurement and the leadership of teams within it. At this year’s Government Property Forum, the focus will be on exploring these new models, using cases studies and panel discussions to understand the opportunities they create, and the challenges faced in implementing them.
You will hear from leaders in the field that will highlight how workplace strategy can evolve into a full digital transformation of systems and processes, how change can be successfully introduced in the government sector, how the private sector can be tapped to provide purpose-built next generation workplaces through commercially viable lease structuring, and how generational change is influencing leadership and management in the government sector.
This event will provide attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to consider different approaches to planning agile digital and flexible workplace portfolios and how changed leadership approaches will motivate and meet diverse team expectations. |

The theme for the 2018 CoreNet Symposium is ‘Real Estate Re Imagined’, where the audience will be challenged to reimagine and reconsider the future of our corporate real estate industry against the backdrop of technology, converging disciplines, disintermediation and changing human demographics.

- E – EQ and the role of emotional intelligence

September 2018: Elemental Thinking
Oscar Wilde once said: “Life is not complex. We are complex. Life is simple, and the simple thing is the right thing”.
We humans are all so different and yet so alike. Two people can work in the same place, doing the same job, and yet have polar opposite experiences.So when you’re designing a workplace to meet the needs of a myriad of different types of people, how do you create a space that becomes an enjoyable experience for everyone that comes into contact with it?
Neil Usher designed and delivered the multi-award winning Sky Central in London - one of Europe’s largest, most progressive and amenity-rich agile workplaces, successfully transitioning 3,500 colleagues from traditional working environments. Over the last two decades, he has created some of the world’s most interactive, collaborative, agile and community-focused workspaces.
His current role at Unispace as Executive Consultant brings the occupier-side experience to bear, encompassing strategy, business development and widening the scope of the service offer to include real estate and FM. He has an influential blog, work essence, is a regular conference and academic speaker, and his first book The Elemental Workplace was published by LID in March this year.
The Elemental Workplace, is about how to create a fantastic workplace that caters to the needs of everyone. He will share his views on how design can serve to create experiences that attract people, keep them engaged and add value to the business.
Neil has been described as a workplace maverick and when designing future workplaces, he prides himself on independent thought and challenging norms. At a time when people can be guilty of making workplace design overly complex and complicated, he’s on a quest for simplicity to get to the heart of what makes for a great workplace experience. |

November 2018: Workplace Jam
Workplace 2030
“Future Workplace” is a consistent theme in CRE conferences and symposia. A typical format is presentations by subject matter experts on technology, wellbeing, sustainability and change management, all of which are relevant and important. The CoreNet Workplace Jam will examine these issues and more, but from a different perspective. Part-inspirational and part-participative, the Jam is intended to push boundaries in attitudes to and concepts of “workplace” by accessing the leading thinkers in Australian and New Zealand corporate real estate.
Structured as a whole-day event, the morning sessions will comprise presentations by speakers who have created new horizons in work and workplace highlighting their change drivers and the ways in which they responded to these.
The “Jam” will be held in the afternoon and is a new concept in symposia.
It will focus on audience participation – mining the imagination, knowledge and experience of those present. Participants will be invited to form teams of eight, either prior to the event or at it. Individual registrants will be placed on teams by CoreNet Global.
The format will be similar to a hackathon but conducted in one afternoon - tables will act as teams competing for a prize. Teams will be required to “imagine workplace 2030” and present it in 5 minutes.
It will be FUN. There will be a panel of judges. Judging will be conducted on a scoring system like a debate, with points awarded for imagination, content and presentation. Bonus points will be awarded in the judging for a range of achievements: e.g. most end users at a table, most entertaining presentation, craziest idea, etc.
Teams will brainstorm “The 2030 workplace – leveraging workplace to survive and thrive” and then present their conclusions and concepts. These presentations will be judged by a panel of industry leading figures. |
