Forward-looking Swedish firm Castellum sees a bright future in digital services for real estate companies, so they have created a digital innovation lab called Next20 and they will put current Stena Group CDO Niclas Ingestrom in charge of it.

Ingestrom will take over as Castellum CDO this February. Here are some excerpts from Ingestrom’s interview for his upcoming job by PRNewswire:

“I want to create Digital Awareness. Everyone at Castellum will have to experience what VR and artificial intelligence is in practice. It’s not really the technology that is the challenge, but how people relate to it. I want managers to dare to be more creative”, says Niclas Ingeström.

Niclas Ingeström is sure that future workplaces will look very different from today, not least due to disruptive technologies that will account for major changes in the way we behave.

“The buildings themselves will make all decisions about renovation, negotiate their own agreements and optimize the premises according to user needs. But we will also change our working processes and mobility. For example, we’ll conduct our video conferences in driverless vehicles”, says Niclas Ingeström.
