  Change Management Through Spatial Design:
  Applying Workplace Strategy to Healthcare Transformation

  Healthcare transformation initiatives often struggle with implementation despite sound clinical strategies. The missing element is frequently the strategic use of physical space as a change management tool. This session demonstrates how healthcare executives can leverage spatial design principles to accelerate organizational transformation while maintaining operational excellence.

  OUR Speaker

  Susan Chang, ARIDO, NCIDQ, LEED AP, BCIN, LEAN
  
  Executive Vice President, Workplace & Healthcare Design Advisory, JLL

  With almost 30 years of experience spanning healthcare design, workplace strategy and organizational change, Susan brings a unique perspective on how physical environments can support transformation. In this session, she will draw on her experience in workplace consulting and healthcare planning to explore how strategic space decisions can improve operations, engage stakeholders and help organizations navigate change.

  Read Susan’s full bio here.

  The Strategic Advantage

  Most organizations begin workplace strategy too late in their planning process. Optimal timing initiates spatial planning during early conceptualization, allowing leadership to align workplace elements with transformation goals rather than retrofitting after facility commitments. This proactive approach enables strategic choices that directly support care delivery evolution and technology integration.

  Addressing the Physician Challenge

  While hospital staff generally embrace organizational changes, physicians present unique challenges. Current physician culture often reflects independence and resistance to mandated changes from executives. Spatial design offers powerful engagement tools because environmental improvements demonstrate clear operational benefits rather than feeling like imposed requirements. When physicians experience improved workflow efficiency through thoughtfully designed spaces, they transform from obstacles into transformation advocates.

  Practical Framework

  Through JLL's George Brown College case study, attendees examine proven methodologies translated to healthcare environments. The session provides actionable approaches for spatial needs assessments, stakeholder engagement including physician leaders, and change management strategies leveraging physical modifications.

  Participants receive measurement frameworks demonstrating quantifiable impact on operational performance, staff satisfaction, physician engagement, and patient outcomes—providing evidence to secure buy-in and justify investments.

  Healthcare executives will conclude with confidence in leveraging workplace strategy effectively across staff and physician populations, understanding how spatial design bridges resistance patterns, and a proven roadmap respecting healthcare professional culture while advancing organizational objectives.

  Five Consumer Trends To Transform Client Experience

  What seems novel today could become the expectation tomorrow.

  Consumer expectations are changing quickly, and the signals emerging now can tell us a lot about what people will expect from the products, services, technology and experiences around them next.

  Join Jeff Chan, Senior Manager, Enterprise Innovation at TD Bank, as he explores five emerging consumer trends and how organizations can translate external signals into practical action. The conversation will challenge us to look beyond the status quo, consider what changing expectations could mean for the experiences we create, and think about being future-ready in a more human way.

  About the Speaker

  Jeff Chan | Senior Manager, Enterprise Innovation, TD Bank

  Jeff turns external signals into actionable insights to evolve products, services and technologies at TD. In many cases, his recommendations require no increase in spend, just a willingness to think beyond the status quo and reimagine what is possible at TD.

  Jeff studied computer science and brings 20 years of experience across product, marketing and technology in the financial services, e-commerce and startup industries.

  PLACE VS. SPACE:

  Does Workplace Experience Matter More Than Location?

  The evolution of the workplace in Canada remains a work in progress. Employee experience has become a strategic business priority, while many organizations continue to reassess the size, purpose, and location of their office portfolios. Across Canada, companies are balancing workplace experience investments with changing employee expectations around flexibility, commute times, accessibility, and collaboration.

  At the same time, location strategy remains under the microscope. Organizations are evaluating whether premium downtown locations continue to deliver value, how transit accessibility influences attendance, and whether hub-and-spoke or distributed workplace models can better support talent attraction and retention. In major markets such as Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montréal, corporate occupiers are navigating shifting workplace utilization patterns while seeking to create spaces that employees actively choose to use.

  But what matters more to employees today: where the office is located, or the experience they have once they arrive?

  At this years CoreNet CRE Leadership Roundtable session, panelists will share how they are balancing location strategy, workplace experience, and portfolio optimization while adapting to the realities of hybrid work.

  The discussion will highlight innovative approaches Canadian organizations are taking to create destinations rather than obligations, and how Corporate Real Estate leaders are increasingly serving as strategic partners to HR, business leaders, and the C-suite in driving culture, productivity, and talent outcomes. Following the panel, we will break into smaller groups to further discuss!
