Destination 2.0® Roundtable, New York

With Woodalls, Work Transformers hosted a Destination 2.0 roundtable in New York, designed as an interactive forum to test and refine the workplace strategy framework with those leading portfolios at scale.

Using live voting and collaborative debate, participants co-created insights that fed directly into the development of the framework, focused on the realities of hybrid work and the challenge of balancing cost, culture and consistency across international portfolios.

• The ongoing challenges of hybrid adoption in global firms
• Balancing cost efficiency with workplace experience
• Regional differences in workplace expectations and consistency
• The role of AI in enabling better data, benchmarking and decision-making
• How Destination 2.0 can bring clarity and structure to complex portfolios

• Live voting captured immediate sentiment on hybrid policy, cost pressures and leadership alignment
• Candid debate revealed the tension between short-term financial pressure and long-term people strategy
• Direct feedback informed the next iteration of the framework

The New York roundtable confirmed the need for a structured, research-led framework to navigate hybrid, ESG and technology adoption, a milestone in developing Destination 2.0 through the lived experience of industry leaders rather than in theory.
