today & tomorrow

tomorrow is more than just a series of events!

We offer a unique platform for the working world of today and tomorrow ... today & tomorrow. This is where exceptional speakers, experts and leading minds from the fields of work and futurology come together. They present their pioneering approaches and share their experiences to help us master the challenges of the future.

today & tomorrow is a diversity of perspectives, a network, a platform that connects us today and tomorrow!

In various formats, we facilitate an open discussion about current developments and trends that are transforming the world of work. From new technologies and hybrid working models to the ethical issues of digital transformation: together we take a deep look into the world of work and life - both today and tomorrow.

As Head of Workspace Innovation at LEIK, Stefan Kiss is not only the initiator and moderator of the tomorrow events, but is also largely responsible for the key topics and the various formats relating to tomorrow & today.

the future is now

the future is wow

“In our projects, we generally encounter two types of people: ”

Those who resist change and those who bring it about. The future belongs to the second group.
Those who see change not as a problem, but as an opportunity. Companies and people
who want to maintain the status quo will struggle with this.
We all must learn to live with change, accept it, and embrace it.

We should approach each new day with courage and curiosity, with an open mind and a spirit of adventure.
We should be ready to constantly reinvent ourselves and our company
and to continually question the way we work. We must be aware
that those who cannot keep up may be swept away by the next wave
of change.

“We need to understand that we can’t stop these waves; instead, we must learn to
ride them – or, in the best-case scenario, trigger them ourselves.“

"We live in an age of change and simultaneity, where we are sometimes pushed to the limits by speed and complexity. Courage, curiosity and resilience are our best companions on this journey... because ultimately it’s up to us what we make of it."

Stefan Kiss

Our Learning Journey with Office 21 took us to Supercell in Finland, where we were able to experience an impressive project for 600 employees. We were particularly impressed by the atmosphere in the offices, which were decorated with quotes from the online games and created by the team on site. Supercell is one of the most successful companies in this sector. The high quality of the fit-out, the attention to detail and the great openness of the corporate culture provided us with valuable inspiration.

Škoda in Prague was a fascinating stop on our journey through the year 2025. In collaboration with a local architect, the company has created an inspiring project floor that is used for both internal and external events. Each niche and room is uniquely designed and surprises with creative ideas. Particularly impressive was the biophilia concept, which was even thought through to a specially designed sound carpet.

In addition to applied research by renowned institutes, our partners are also working intensively on the question of the workplace of the future. They analyze current trends, technologies and needs in order to develop innovative solutions that will have a lasting impact on the way people work in the coming years. We enjoy working with Steelcase and Vitra in this dialog to understand different perspectives and gain valuable insights for LEIK.
