ABSTRACT: This study aimed to explore the major shifts in the built environment future world of work, and the capabilities professionals need to develop in order to strategically reposition themselves to exploit the major shifts as opportunities to survive and thrive. It was hypothesized that transformations – rather than reformations – are needed; and that built environment professionals must develop and sustain agile and responsive capabilities to leverage the eminent changes as tailwinds to rise up to the challenges.
A four-step pragmatic exploratory research and analytical approach was adopted which comprised industry consultations, systematic reviews of literature, thematic analysis of facts and result validations by experienced industry practitioners.
The presentation highlights the major shifts in the built environment future world of work, and the capabilities professionals need to develop in order to strategically reposition themselves to exploit the major shifts as opportunities to reach new heights.
