Welcome to this month’s edition of Owl’s Eye View.
This issue unpacks a question we keep coming back to: what does it actually take to shape experiences that matter for people, for places, for organisations?
Below we explore how LinkedIn is using AI to strengthen its workplace sustainability programs, what it means for a hotel to truly belong to its location, and why a little intentional friction might be exactly what human connection needs right now.
As always, if any of these themes spark a conversation you’d like to have, we’d love to hear from you. contact us.
