Understanding Workplace strategy and Utilization Data -FacilityQuest





In this video, we unpack the Ways of Working report, which captures where people work, how they work, what they are doing, and how many of them are in a given space. We explore the decisions that can be made based on this evidence.

FacilityQuest is a platform for running various types of workplace assessments. Global architecture firms use FacilityQuest to perform hundreds of space utilization projects for their clients, gathering, analyzing, and communicating occupancy and usage patterns as part of workplace strategy projects.

FacilityQuest  is a platform for running various types of workplace assessments. Global architecture firms use FacilityQuest to perform hundreds of space utilization projects for their clients, gathering, analyzing, and communicating occupancy and usage patterns as part of workplace strategy projects.



Other assessments include photo-based surveys for occupant engagement and feedback, image mapping of facilities spaces, fixtures, and furniture, and badge-swipe data analysis.



Engaging with clients to research their workplace utilization is a smart first step that builds trust and confidence and creates a foundation for confident space programming.

"IS THE UTILIZATION OF CONFERENCE ROOMS REALLY AS HIGH AS THEY SAY?"
Perception vs. reality. Before design, even before programming, take a quantitative look at space. See how raw data turns into useful information and insights.

Gather quantitative space and activity data to support qualitative data gathered during interviews, focus groups or surveys.

"WE NEED TO PROVE THAT LARGE CONFERENCE ROOMS ARE MOSTLY BEING USED BY 1-2 PEOPLE."
Support space optimization and planning decisions with utilization data that shows “how many people doing what activities in each space type.” 

Usage data offers a comparison with industry benchmarks and best practices.

"Culture eats strategy for lunch." But utilization data can help challenge the status quo by showing that space will deliver more value when put to a different use. Evidence-based design builds a business case for programming options and alternative  workplace strategies.

Then, armed with the truth, a data-gathering study leads to deeper sales conversations.

Show effectiveness of design: compare before-and-after data of workplace utilization and activities. A good data-driven story communicates powerfully to your next potential customer.
