## Resource

Hybrid work isn't broken because employees don’t want to gather—it struggles due to the coordination tax, that hidden productivity killer that strikes when freedom lacks structure. In this essential episode, host Bob Fox sits down with Mark Gilbreath, CEO & Founder of LiquidSpace, to dive deep into the real enemy of hybrid: coordination chaos. Mark unpacks how smart enterprises like T-Mobile, Allstate, and Airbnb are achieving massive cost savings and unlocking the tangible "Hybrid Dividend" by pivoting to a people-first planning model. We explore the necessity of adopting flexible workspaces and leveraging AI-powered portfolio intelligence to match work activities with the right space, proving that 83% of office bookings are for group work, not solo focus. This powerful conversation is a must-listen for anyone questioning the future of work, providing actionable workplace strategy insights and data-driven decisions that transform workplace transformation from a distraction into a double-win for both cost efficiency and employee engagement.
