EverythingOmni The smarter way to recognise and solve business challenges

Understanding Uncertainty

In a world full of uncertainty, EverythingOmni offers customers a method to help address their work and workplace dilemmas.

EverythingOmni is a global advisory, advocacy and thought leadership group formed to make sense of the noise surrounding how to cope with a rapidly changing economic and business landscape.

Designed to bridge the chasm of confusion brought about by the pandemic leading to uncertainty in an unstable geopolitical and economic world.

An inclusive deep-dive process goes beyond the usual binary options and encompasses a broad perspective which leads to a more balanced, dynamic and constructive way to influence decision making.

Performed in an objective, evidence-based and non-biased way.

Time For Change

The world of work and the workplace is facing huge pressures for wholesale change, one which traditional playbooks cannot imagine, let alone cope with.

This cocktail of inter-related forces made up of the fall-out from the pandemic, economic upheaval, geopolitical volatility, new business models, the impact of technology and the climate crisis; has ended the long-established 'one size fits all’ approach.

Leaders now recognise that we must experiment to explore multi-dimensional solutions comprising a mix of fixed, flexible, and fluid propositions.

Real-World Scenarios

EverythingOmni Discovery offers a new concept for understanding the huge forces of change that are bearing down, like a tsunami, on both enterprise and real estate alike. The process convenes a diverse range of people with different world backgrounds and beliefs, and different styles of problem-solving to collectively develop fresh perspectives and thinking.

It encourages delegates to go beyond traditional boundaries and be bold enough to entertain ‘out of the box’ thinking. All of which generates actionable scenarios which help provide competitive advantage and first mover advantage.

EverythingOmni Discovery

EverythingOmni Discovery, a collaborative innovation incubator, is the first of a set of tools designed to help enterprises imagine, consider and plan for their future work, and market and workplace dilemmas.

EverythingOmni Discovery, brings together a wide-ranging group of stakeholders in order to leverage their opinions and ideas to set a course in achieving an organisational goal.

The concept has been developed over the last three years through a series of experiments with multiple formats based on convening consumers, providers, and policymakers to address the future of the built environment.

About EverythingOmni

Over the last three years, EverthingOmni has had significant success with its approach, methodology and tools with several clients and business organisations and expects high growth over the forthcoming years.

EverthingOmni has been formed and driven by two global leaders in the work and workplace world.

Chris Kane, former Head of Corporate Real Estate at BBC, former VP CRE Walt Disney, and George Muir, former director of the future IKEA workplace, are the Yin-Yang of people, place, leadership, and technology conundrum.

Chris Kane

Co-Founder of EverythingOmni

Former VP CRE Walt Disney and Head of BBC Workplace.

Chris’s 30-year career in CRE and workplace strategy has included overseeing the BBC’s property portfolio regeneration, taking the Corporation from analogue to digital. This also involved masterminding the foundations of new innovative and creative media, business and residential centres in White City, London and Salford, Manchester.

He is the author of both “Where is My Office? Reimagining the 21st Workplace”, books published by Bloomsbury. In both pre-and-post-pandemic editions he presents a game-changing challenge to the existing ways we work. As well as being a guide to harnessing the true potential of an organisation’s people and workplace.

Chris uses his insights and change management experience to help people see the link between work, the workforce and the workplace.

He is focused on making the best use of the built environment in order to leave a better legacy for the generations that follow us.

George Muir

Co-Founder of EverythingOmni

George has been learning and developing his expertise through an extensive 27 year journey within IKEA and running his own company.

He is a futurist with a passion for igniting ideas, on the practical implementations of the digital revolution and how Ethics, Communities and Artificial Intelligence will impact our lives.

At IKEA, George helped them to establish their retail business in Eastern Europe, China and Russia. He also founded the company’s original digital DNA, by developing the digital architecture for IKEA. His work there also extended to business process and people and culture (HR), before leading the programme to ‘visualise the future IKEA workplace’.

Post-IKEA, George has built both the business and people strategy for a future ‘unicorn’ in the USA and Australia.

He also holds talks and workshops around the world on a variety of topics encompassing the future of work and banking, ethical issues of AI and workplace wellbeing.

Recent comments from his latest seminar include: “Interesting thoughts that go through your mind. My thoughts were that you had just so much knowledge in that head of yours! “

For George, simplicity is a virtue, and his main focus is taking a complex problem and providing a clear, simple solution.

Where Is My Office?

Reimagining The Workplace for the 20th Century - The Post-Pandemic Edition, by Chris Kane and Eugenia Anastassiou, published by Bloomsbury.

Out May 25th 2023.

This follows the original Where Is My Office? Reimagining The Workplace for the 20th Century, which drew on Chris Kane’s knowledge and 30 years' experience working at the forefront of commercial real estate and combining large-scale property transformation projects to enable organisational change management.

Both books investigate what 21st century working environments could look like – and the opportunities that are waiting for those bold enough to take the next step.

The revised edition reconsiders the base proposition that the only purpose of the office is not to house but to support business and suggests some radical steps to adjust how we consume and provide the physical container of work – the office.The post-pandemic edition builds on the need to really get to grips with the relationship between people, place, technology and the environment.

Especially now that most people all over the world have experienced Working From Home on a mass scale and are questioning the need to commute to an office just to send emails.

This has led to a huge focus for the need for new models of working and whilst the office is not dead, its role in the emerging new paradigm needs to be reconsidered.It also offers practical considerations into frameworks of how business leaders, workplace practitioners and those involved in commercial real estate can navigate the prevailing complexity of the post-pandemic working landscape.

Working together with Chris and George, journalist and writer Eugenia Anastassiou is also part of EverythingOmni. Her role is chronicling the unprecedented changes taking place in the 21st century working environment through the Where Is My Office? books and the EverythingOmni Discovery innovation incubator.

EverythingOmni Findings

Real-time/real-world findings from our incubator sessions involving business leaders from large corporations and SMEs, entrepreneurs, employees, workplace strategists, HR and IT experts, students, academics, and property people, both occupiers and supply side of all ages, backgrounds and levels in their respective organisations.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution or silver bullet to solve problems. Since past playbooks are obsolete and no one has done this before, different approaches are needed moving forward to find alternative pathfinders.

People will not work for organisations unless they can demonstrate authenticity in values and purpose. The days of greenwashing are over because nobody can afford to hide.

Opening up workplace opportunities beyond the physical office incentivises employee engagement and rebalances the power seesaw between employer and employee, impacting talent attraction and retention.

Resources and sustainability in terms of how office and commercial space is currently used, the carbon burn on building these properties and additionally how they are operated is detrimental to the environment.

Early adopters who embrace this situation make that move effectively by consolidating their position.

At EverythingOmni, we help navigate the complexity of people, place, technology, and leadership to see how and where they interact and connect.

We also help you see how they impact one another to go forward in co-designing a better working future.
