Description

There's been so much talk over the last 2 years about how we are working - in offices, remotely, hybrid. At the same time, in the UK we've been treated to lots of adverse publicity about the workings of the Prime Minister's office, 10 Downing Street.

Is this office still fit for purpose? Is the West Wing any better? How would we go about redesigning the working experience for the incoming Prime Minister?

Here's a quick overview of the discussion points in this episode:

• The 'workplace' issues at 10 Downing Street & parallels in the US  (2:18)
• Re-designing the Prime Minister's office (16:14)
• Thinking differently (23:24)
• Andrew's suggestions to the Prime Ministerial candidates (25:53)
