Challenge
Tomorrow’s office is being reshaped by several trends apparent for over a decade and accelerated by the recent pandemic: the rise of remote work, increased flexibility, coworking options and a focus on wellbeing. The result: organisations of all sizes are rethinking the role of the office within their way of working and culture, against a backdrop of commercial real estate constraints due to long-term contracts and existing structures.
Innovative Solution
Agile Office is Plan Group’s response to the transformation of office spaces: a flexible solution to understand today’s usage and tomorrow’s requirements, build alternatives and monitor the success over time in order to continuously improve services to Developers, Operator/Owners and Tenants.
How It Works
Agile Office rests on a strong foundation: a digital twin equipped with smart technology in order to understand building usage and people flows. Based on these insights, recommendations for optimising space and services are co-created with clients, and solutions – including office space booking & customisation via an app, remote building operation and energy savings plans. Simply put, it integrates business processes with building spaces, thru digitals workflows for better outcomes.

- In-depth understanding of usage patterns and evolving user behaviours, which translate into pathways for improving user satisfaction whilst minimising costs.
- Customisation of office spaces in order to attract employees and visitors and support long-term use of available real estate.
