“Technology plays a huge role in helping us understand how we evolve our space and then determine what is working and what isn’t. Ultimately, it affects the overall performance of the teams. We see more engagement, more activity, and more productivity in spaces that are inspirational and motivational than we do in spaces that aren’t.” Jeff observed in our interview.
Our discussion covered
- Modern sensoring’s ability to supply real-time understanding and drive decision making.
- The overlap between physical sensor tech and digital security.
- Details about the ‘One Microsoft Court’ and ‘One Microsoft Place’ development projects.
- The connection between physical, shared spaces and professional productivity.
- Learnings drawn out from the threat of Covid 19.
