ABSL Romania, with the support of our Partners and Members, is pleased to invite you to the 4th edition of Iași Business Mixer 2019, on September 19th, starting with 9:30 AM, at Congress Hall Palas.
The theme for this edition is: The Art of Moving the Needle: Transformation in Business Services.
We can no longer talk about business without talking about transformation in all relevant layers: human resources, technology adoption, digital transformation, organizational culture – basically, every aspect of the way we are doing business nowadays. In every organization, success will most likely follow only when both the company’s and employees’ vision and needs are moving the same needle, based on a mutual understanding of what’s important. So, we invite the business services community in Iasi to discuss on how we are moving the needle in this industry.
The purpose of the event is to facilitate best practice sharing between companies, acknowledge the challenges and the opportunities ahead and to prepare the participants embrace the future changes. Join us!
9:30 – 10:00 | Welcome coffee
Greetings from the ABSL Team & Event Moderator Colin Lovering – Senior Vice President – Avison Young

Iași office market, from traditional to innovative
Claudia Cetatoiu – Senior Consultant, Tenant Representation Office Department – JLL Romania
Limited new deliveries in Iasi and the expansion of IT companies, including local entrepreneurs, created the need for temporary spaces (space fluctuations). Serviced offices offer class A spaces which can accommodate international companies until the new projects will be delivered in 2021/2022. This type of office spaces can be also a tool for recruiting young talents/graduates from Iasi and will help the market to become more mature.

The future of work is creative
Elena Ardelean – Dealer Business Manager – Steelcase
Digitization impacts dramatically your way of working. Everything which cannot be automated will become most valuable. Creativity is or will become a key currency for your enterprise. You need creative areas in where digitization and space synthesize to get the best out of your human capital. This needs to be planned carefully and must be aligned to your strategy and work experience model.
