Erik Lucken

Strategy Leader · Gensler · company speakers →

Erik Lucken has spent thirty years in the design industry working from a deceptively simple conviction: research is the engine of great design. As a Strategy Leader at Gensler, he translates rigorous inquiry into actionable solutions—closing the gap between physical environments and the business performance and workplace cultures they're meant to support. Since joining Gensler in 2006, Erik has focused his work on the 'how' and 'why' of modern work. One thread has defined much of his research: workforce demographics—a variable that shapes workplace needs profoundly. By decoding what workers at every career stage actually need from the spaces around them, he has developed research-based insights that move workplace design from intuition to intention. A longtime Gensler thought leader and frequent speaker, Erik doesn't just describe where the workplace is headed. He gives people the strategic clarity to do something about it.
