You will learn
Organizations, more than ever, are searching for ways to evolve their collaboration to support employees in a hybrid way of working. But how? What is truly required to collaborate effectively in a hybrid world?
Everyone is talking about place, space and technology, but hybrid is more than those things. Trends show that even with cool spaces, exceptional tech, and free healthy food, in-office utilization is still at a record low. Why aren’t people returning? What are the blind spots? How are those blind spots impacting collaboration experiences for all users?
More than technology and redesigning spaces, we must go deeper to explore how our social interactions and organizational paradigms shape hybrid work.
In this 2-hour workshop, you will explore a framework that highlights potential blind spots hindering effective hybrid collaboration, collectively unpack evolving work paradigms and challenges alongside other senior industry leaders, and explore different ways of working to create a more human-centered organization.

Colby Harder
Colby Harder is a recognized thought leader in the Future of Work, advocating for well-executed hybrid and distributed work models as an opportunity for business to create a sustainable competitive advantage. He believes that these approaches align with core human needs in work: autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
Colby is an experienced entrepreneur, board member, and brings over 20 years of experience in the workplace technology industry. At ET Group, Colby leads efforts focused on attracting new clients and forming strategic industry partnerships. Additionally, Colby has also advised non-profit organizations and established a hybrid coworking business, where he can see innovative hybrid-teams work effectively in new ways of working.
At the core of his beliefs are the tenets that work is something we do, not somewhere we go.

Driven by his passion for exploration, Colby travels globally, both physically and virtually, to study hybrid and distributed work best practices, the “return to office” movement, and to learn from successful distributed teams so that he can help clients thrive in the future of work.
