Unlock the Power of Your Space to Drive Success
KEYNOTE FOR BUSINESS LEADERS
In her transformative keynote, Space as Strategy, Dr. Lorissa MacAllister empowers business leaders to rethink their environments as strategic assets that drive success. Drawing from her expertise in social work, architecture, and healthcare, Dr. MacAllister reveals the critical flaw in traditional design—focusing on adding more space instead of making it work smarter.
Through her innovative inFORMed Approach™—FLOW + FUNCTION - FRICTION = FORM—she demonstrates how to turn physical spaces into tools for organizational growth, productivity, and employee satisfaction.
This keynote equips CEOs, executives, and operations leaders with practical strategies to align their environments with business goals, enhancing engagement, customer experience, and operational outcomes.
With real-world examples and actionable insights, Dr. MacAllister shows how even small design changes can deliver game-changing results.
Don’t let your space be an afterthought—learn how to make it a catalyst for transformation and success.

The Overlooked Solution to an Emotionally Depleted Workforce
WHAT IS BURNOUT?
Typically we blame long hours, lack of leadership, and unmanageable workloads. We throw money at employee perks and additional days off only to find the condition re-emerge after mere weeks or months. It’s clear we need to try something new.
In this talk you’ll learn a formula for staff retention and the shocking impact your environment has on your profits, productivity, and employee satisfaction. You’ll begin to see that your spaces are the source and also the solution to many issues that your workforce is experiencing.
Burnout is a problem we’ve built. And it’s one that we can solve.

Increasing Brand Value by Elevating the Human Experience
When was the last time you were introduced to your brand as a newcomer? Letting yourself experience your people and place as if it were the first time?
Your brand is the culmination of stories about your company. And while these are sometimes a product of your marketing messages, often value judgments are formed through a customer or patient’s direct experience.
This talk holds promising and powerful reminders for healthcare organizations and practices, corporations, and brick and mortar businesses who want to improve the customer experience and brand integrity. By focusing on your space and how consumers move through it, you’ll identify ways to improve your reputation and bottom line.
