“Instead of being ‘data-driven,’ companies should be ‘data-informed,’ using it to challenge preconceptions.”

LINDA HILL, PROFESSOR, HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL

These needs, and a host of others, are driving organizations to leverage new tools and platforms to better understand their buildings, their campus, and their real estate portfolio.

Our team of specialists—including strategists, planners, user experience experts, data scientists, and analysts—can help structure and organize your data so that you can visualize it and easily sort through it for insights.

We start with what you have, then connect it with external data sources to give you an accurate picture: what is inside your buildings, how they are being used, how they are perceived by occupants, how are they performing, and possible scenarios to accommodate future needs.

Sometimes we build these tools as part of a design project or master plan and other times clients ask us to do this work as a stand-alone assignment. Regardless, our goal is to give you tools that are intuitive, informative, and help you communicate with stakeholders.

Helping decision-makers visualize their priorities (growth, flexibility, cost, sustainability) and to weigh major decisions and investments.

― Benchmarking & Modeling

― Tracking Sustainability

Leveraging our sector-specific benchmark data, your own historic data, and machine learning/predictive modeling to forecast and plan.

Measuring and cataloging social and environmental impacts for internal planning and public dissemination.

― Integrating People & Place Data

― Jumpstarting a Database

Uncovering insights from the intersection of occupant experience data (POEs, surveys) and building performance data.

Creating a framework for your space data to capture the right inputs and display the right outputs.

Our process

― Goal Setting

― Platform Design

What are you trying to measure? How do these metrics tie to organizational KPIs? What is most important to your leadership or stakeholders?

Need a dashboard? Would you connect organizational data to GIS? Do you prefer a server or can it be securely located in the cloud?

― Data Assessment

― Testing & Roll-out

What source data is available now? How accurate is it? How accurate do we need it to be? Is field verification required?

What are the different user groups and what level of access do they need?

― Data Set Correlation

― Data Maintenance

Are buildings, rooms, occupancy consistently labelled?

Does your organization have standards for capturing or reporting space data?

Do you need help periodically updating your space data to accommodate new data sources or changes over time?
