The AI Revolution is Here—Is Your Workplace Ready?
AI is reshaping work faster than ever, and 90% of global leaders agree—it’s changing how work gets done in the next two years. Steelcase calls this shift the AI supercycle—a rapid transformation that’s forcing businesses to rethink how offices function.
At Franklin, we see this as more than a tech shift—it’s an opportunity to create smarter, more human-centered workplaces.
How AI is Changing the Workplace
AI is automating repetitive tasks, freeing employees to focus on creativity, strategy, and problem-solving. But to make the most of it, workplaces need flexibility, tech integration, and spaces that support human potential.
- Collaboration, Reimagined
AI is enhancing teamwork, but offices must support seamless hybrid collaboration—where in-person and remote employees connect effortlessly. - Deep Focus Matters More Than Ever
With AI handling routine tasks, people need quiet, distraction-free spaces for innovation and strategic thinking. - Continuous Learning is Essential
AI adoption means upskilling and reskilling. Offices should include training areas, mentoring spaces, and informal knowledge-sharing hubs. - Well-Being is Non-Negotiable
Change is happening fast—workplaces must prioritize mental and physical health with ergonomic design and areas for rejuvenation.

The Human + AI Workplace
AI can streamline processes, but creativity and critical thinking remain uniquely human. Workplaces should foster an environment where AI enhances productivity—without replacing the human touch.
The AI supercycle isn’t just about adopting technology—it’s about building a culture that embraces change.
