Workspace redesign

What this method does

The diagnostic measures real usage — presence, collaboration, focus, meetings — before committing square meters. It prevents a real-estate project built on a false occupancy assumption.

When to launch it

• A relocation or a flex-office move is planned without usage data.
• Meeting rooms are saturated while desks sit empty.
• Return to office is negotiated site by site, with no common frame.

How it runs

1. 1

   Scope

   The sites and departments involved in the redesign.

2. 2

   Usage diagnostic

   Thirty questions on presence, activities and real space needs.

3. 3

   Programming

   Measured usage is translated into space needs by type.

What you get

• Usage profile by team and site
• Quantified space needs by type
• Watch points on how the project will be received

What is measured

• Actual presence and weekly rhythms
• Collaborative versus individual work time
• Focus needs
• Use of meeting rooms and informal spaces
