Scaling workplaces without losing the human touch
When a biopharmaceutical company goes from a single headquarters to offices spanning multiple continents, every workplace decision gets harder, from conference room sizing to regulatory compliance to whether cubicles even make sense in a new market. In this session, Julian Sera, Senior Manager of Facilities at Cytokinetics, walks through what it actually takes to scale physical workplaces in a fast-growing, highly regulated industry.
He'll share how his team uses occupancy and utilization data to make smarter design and operational decisions, how they balance global consistency with local needs, and why the smallest interactions, not the biggest projects, often determine whether employees trust the workplace team. Whether you're managing one office or ten, you'll walk away with practical strategies for designing spaces that flex with your organization as it grows.
