Marilee Lloyd on The Blueprint of a Thriving Workplace
June 20, 2025
An exploration of how design thinking intersects with organizational strategy.
Marilee Lloyd, Associate Principal and HED’s National Laboratory Planning Leader, joins The Blueprint of a Thriving Workplace, a podcast produced by the People Strategy Forum. The series examines how workplaces can better align space, culture, and strategy to support people and performance. In the conversation, Lloyd reflects on how research-driven environments challenge conventional ideas of workplace design and why listening—to users, to mission, to context—is essential to long-term success. Her perspective underscores design not as a backdrop, but as an active participant in shaping how organizations work and evolve.
