Start with the workplace question

Whether you are deciding how much space to retain, what desk ratio will work, whether the meeting room mix is right or where to invest next, we design the measurement and modelling around the decision.

Use a focused 3 month study, a revolving sensor programme, permanent sensing where it adds value or a combination that fits your estate.

Explore the workplace decisions we help organisations make.

Reduce real estate footprint

Test consolidation, lease and capacity options before committing to change.

Combine attendance, occupancy and utilisation evidence with scenario modelling to understand how much space the organisation needs, which locations to retain and what happens on peak days.

Typical questions

  • Which buildings or leases should we retain?
  • What capacity do we need on peak days?
  • What are the cost, carbon and employee experience trade offs?

Measure
Establish attendance, occupancy and utilisation patterns.

Model
Compare consolidation, lease and capacity scenarios.

Decide
Select a defensible footprint and implementation plan.

Optimise meeting rooms

Right size the number and mix of meeting rooms using booked and actual behaviour.

Combine booking records with occupancy and people count evidence to identify ghost bookings, demand by room size and spaces that are consistently too large or too small.

Typical questions

  • Do we have the right number and mix of meeting rooms?
  • Which room sizes are under or oversupplied?
  • How often are booked rooms empty or poorly matched to attendance?

Measure
Compare bookings, occupancy, people counts and room utilisation.

Model
Test alternative room mixes, capacities and booking policies.

Decide
Define the number, size and operating model of rooms required.

Plan hybrid workplaces

Test desk sharing, layout and attendance policies before making long term changes.

Combine attendance, utilisation, team co-attendance and workplace mobility evidence to understand peak demand and how different groups use the estate.

Typical questions

  • What person to desk ratio can we safely support?
  • Which teams need to attend together, and when?
  • Which layout and workplace policies best support the operating model?

Measure
Establish attendance, mobility, co-attendance and utilisation patterns.

Model
Test desk ratios, layouts and workplace policies.

Decide
Define the workplace operating model, design and booking rules.

Benchmark workplace performance

Identify which locations, space types and workplace changes deserve attention.

Compare consistently defined occupancy and utilisation measures across your own portfolio, over time and against appropriate external reference points where available.

Typical questions

  • Which locations or space types perform materially differently?
  • Are workplace changes improving utilisation and experience?
  • Where should we investigate or invest next?

Measure
Establish consistent, comparable workplace performance measures.

Compare
Analyse locations, space types, time periods and relevant benchmarks.

Decide
Prioritise deeper studies, investment and operational change.

Improve efficiency through better decisions

Across every solution, we help organisations find avoidable space, operational friction and poorly matched workplace provision, then test where change will produce the greatest value.

Support lower carbon estate decisions

Use workplace evidence to test how consolidation, attendance policies and operational changes could affect space demand, energy use and estate related emissions.

Occupancy and utilisation can be combined with building, energy and emissions data where available. Those integrations and the underlying carbon methodology are scoped for the decision.

Typical questions

  • Which consolidation or operational changes could reduce estate emissions?
  • How do different attendance and footprint scenarios affect carbon performance?
  • What workplace evidence supports the business case and estate related reporting?

Measure
Combine utilisation with relevant building, energy and emissions data.

Model
Test footprint, attendance and operational scenarios using explicit assumptions.

Decide
Prioritise changes and document the expected impact and methodology.

One framework, different decisions

Each solution follows the same discipline: establish reliable evidence, test the available options and define practical action. The measurements, deployment model and decision methods are selected for the question rather than imposed as a fixed package.

Workplace intelligence that keeps growing

Our Resource centre brings together the research, frameworks and practical tools developed through years of helping organisations transform their workplaces.

Whether you’re just beginning your workplace transformation journey or managing a global estate, our resources are designed to help you make better workplace decisions.
