Jesper Toubøl, LEGO Group, Denmark
Vice President, Operations
Jesper will talk about LEGO’s strategies, using the example of their new supermodern innovation center in Denmark, for supporting collaboration, creativity, and performance. He will explain how they designed interconnected manufacturing and office work environments that promote unity, strong corporate culture, and the well-being of their people.

Workplace as a Catalyst of Sustainable Development
Kati Barklund, Tenant & Partner, Sweden
Sr. Workplace Strategy Manager
Kati will speak about the workplace as a strategic toolto enhance organizational culture, collaboration, innovation, and the efficient use of resources.
With the right approach, we can create inclusive, stimulating, and empowering workplaces that help increase security and safety, foster cost and resource effectiveness, and boost performance for organizations. We can also help diminish the environmental footprint of our organizations.
Our overall aim should be to help create more sustainable workplaces, buildings, and organizations, aligning them with human, economic, and environmental needs, and creating more value for people, organizations, and societies.
Kati will present several practical examples, ideas, and solutions on how the right workplace strategy can support business transformation. In particular, she will focus on positive changes in employee thinking and behavior.
Metka Hrovat, SIP d.d., Slovenia
Chief Brand & HR Officer
Metka will present the company’s long-term strategy that has been at the root of all changes at SIP over the past decade which includes changes in the corporate culture, branding strategies, and the upgrade of manufacturing and office premises, led by the newly built SIP Center.
She will explain how their workplace strategies contribute to the overall SIP’s vision. And why the modern workplace is an important business tool that can promote employee satisfaction and support productivity and performance.
Ten years ago, SIP embarked on a new path, largely uncertain and unknown. In an agricultural sector where the brand is not considered the most important thing for the user, SIP decided to do exactly that — they put branding strategies at the forefront.
Today, SIP is three times bigger with double-digit profit margins, a modern manufacturing plant, the world’s largest mower, and a comprehensive #experienceSIP for all stakeholders.
Mark Catchlove, MillerKnoll, UK
Director
Supporting team collaboration remains critical for leaders looking to drive optimum organizational performance.
Designing the best environments for group work begins with understanding the unique needs of different types of teams. The requirements of each team can (and should) be supported by bespoke combinations of sensory design elements that help to sustain energy levels and align with the tasks at hand – meaning teams are equipped to work to their best capacity!
Drawing on research conducted by MillerKnoll, this seminar introduces four distinct team types and offers practical design considerations for supporting the dynamics of each.
dr. Maja Fesel Kamenik, HRM One, Slovenia
Founder, CEO
Dr. Maja Fesel Kamenik, psychologist, founder, and CEO of HRM One, will speak at WDC24 about how a collaborative and cohesive work environment affects our performance, communication, and social needs.
She will share how the workplace affects employee satisfaction and creativity, the importance of good air quality, enough daylight, and greenery, and how to improve workspaces to increase employee performance.
Maja’s focus is on developing people and organizations with the goal of empowering individuals to reach their highest potential in the work environment and their long-term well-being.
At the conference, she will share the workplace lessons she has gained from more than 20 years of experience, advising various Slovenian and international companies in HR systems, management, recruitment and selection, development, and employment law.
Sophie Maddison, Philips, Netherlands
Director of Change Management
Sophie will speak about how taking a people-centric design approach to change is critical for organizations aiming to stay competitive and innovative.
This session will delve into the strategies for driving successful change that embraces neuroscience, people-centric design, and adaptability. We will explore practical approaches to driving complex transformations, engaging employees, facilitating behavior change, and the importance of co-creation in sustaining change. By aligning organizational values with change initiatives, companies can create a positive atmosphere promoting collaboration and innovation.
Products come and go… Technologies change… But Philips is still about one thing. They are creating meaningful innovation that improves people’s health and well-being.
Sophie will share the lessons on Philips Global Marketing and E-commerce Transformation, which took Royal Dutch Philips, with a 130-year legacy, into its next era as a focused global leader in health technology. Specifically, practical tips on how to use change theory, marketing, and design thinking tactics to build a compelling change management approach for any workplace.
