E160– Jan Jaap Boogaard: Head of EMEA Workplace Advisory – Colliers

Another great episode of the Wear Many Hats podcast.

This time, we sit down with Jan Jaap Boogaard, Head of EMEA Workplace Advisory at Colliers, to explore how workplace strategy, culture, and technology are reshaping the future of work across global organisations.

Jan Jaap shares how his journey began in organisational studies before moving into workplace consultancy, where he became fascinated by the connection between business performance, human behaviour, and workplace design.

We dive into the challenges global companies face when trying to create consistent workplace experiences across different countries and cultures, and why a “one size fits all” approach rarely works in practice.

Jan Jaap also shares insights into workplace technology, AI, data-driven decision-making, and how offices are becoming more adaptive to individual needs than ever before.

A thoughtful and forward-looking conversation for workplace leaders, FM professionals, and anyone interested in the future of global workplaces.
