What will the office be like in future?

Greg Foot, host of Â鶹Éç Radio 4's 'Sliced Bread' brings you 'Dough', examining the rise of future wonder products.

Greg is joined by experts, entrepreneurs and industry innovators to discuss the trends we're seeing today and where they may lead us tomorrow, before a leading futurist offers their predictions on what life might be like within five, ten and fifty years.

This time we’re looking at the future of the office - asking whether in years to come, we’ll even need one?

If so, is the ‘conference room’ soon to be a thing of the past, replaced with cafes, comfy chairs, and table tennis tables?

And will our future HQs be home to service robots and AI receptionists?

Greg learns how the Covid-19 pandemic changed office working and the trends transforming the look of high-end office developments. He is joined by the futurist Tom Cheesewright and guests including:

- Professor Matt Davis, University of Leeds
- Jane Clay, Strategy Leader and Principal at Gensler which designs and refurbishes buildings around the world
- Mike Dalloz, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of The Meeting Pod Company.

Produced by Jon Douglas. Dough is a Â鶹Éç Audio North Production for Â鶹Éç Radio 4 and Â鶹Éç Sounds.
