Space Optimization
We use a 5 step, metrics-based approach to help clients understand and develop their occupancy requirements, visualize potential scenarios and select the best scenario to achieve their optimization goals.

Our metrics-based approach enables more informed decisions to meet evolving business needs.
Dynamic Occupancy Management
For clients with unassigned space, we use new occupancy planning methods to allocate space for a mobile workforce, underpinned by three digital elements – AI, space bookings and reservations, and utilization tracking – to create always-on space optimization and help clients more effectively manage occupancy.
Return to office planning
The pandemic has disrupted how people work around the world and has accelerated the need to revisit the purpose of the office. We help clients to evaluate their space needs and shape their workplace and portfolio to better support the needs of their workforce.
How your skills fit
The role of the workplace strategist/occupancy planner is pivotal in helping us shape the workplace strategy of our clients. Here are some of the skills and backgrounds that are key to a success transition.
Space planning experience
Many of our workplace strategists and occupancy planners made transitions from careers in architecture, interior design, corporate real estate, planning, project management, and/or construction. With experience of those technical/design skills coupled with exposure to client facing engagement, you will fit comfortably on our team.
Data analysis & insight development
Data is the backbone of our role. We analyze, assess and provide recommendations that have significant financial impact on our clients’ portfolios. So, it’s pivotal that you are comfortable working with data sets and finding connections and being comfortable translating what those data points mean to our clients and where they can find opportunities within their portfolios to expand/contract or optimize.
Interpersonal skills & communications
Our teams don’t spend all their time in spreadsheets and doing test fits. In fact, our teams work hard to automate as much as possible, so that we’re able to focus our attention working directly with clients to discuss challenges, understanding their situation and present actionable insights to help prepare them for the future. We look for people who feel comfortable presenting solutions that are based on data and analytics.
