Podcast: Turning data into everyday decisions with Workplace Intelligence

In this episode of In the Thick of It, we are joined by Scott Murphy, our Head of Managed Services, to explore Workplace Intelligence, smart environments, and how organisations can use real-world data to better understand their spaces, improve efficiency and make smarter decisions.

How can organisations make better decisions about the spaces they use?

In this episode of In the Thick of It, we’re joined by Scott Murphy to explore how organisations can use Workplace Intelligence to better understand occupancy, air quality, energy usage and, most importantly, the people using their spaces.

Having access to data is only the starting point. As Scott explains, high-level figures can often hide what is really happening on the ground – from overcrowded areas sitting alongside unused desks, to meeting rooms being booked simply because the right-sized space isn’t available.

The conversation explores:

• Why high-level occupancy data can hide important details
• How granular data can reveal what is really happening within a workplace
• Why context and human behaviour are just as important as the data itself
• How occupancy, air quality and energy data can work together to improve decision-making
• Why collecting more data isn’t always the answer
• How organisations can bring data from multiple sensors and systems together
• The financial benefits of using Workplace Intelligence to support investment decisions
• How data can help organisations optimise space, energy and resources
• What organisations should understand before they look to automate
• How Workplace Intelligence can improve the day-to-day experience for employees

The key takeaway: data on its own doesn’t create value. Understanding what the data means, putting it into context, and using it to drive better decisions is where the real value comes from.

From offices and hospitals to education and research environments, Workplace Intelligence can help organisations move away from assumptions and make decisions based on what is actually happening.
