This Report is a New 2017 Definitive Resource on Future Workplace Strategies in the Commercial Office Sector

Memoori presents a brand new report, building on our portfolio of commercial building technology research in areas such as the IoT.

Progressive workplace design is now riding on the wave of the Internet of Things in smart buildings. For example, smart environmental controls are starting to give power to the individual, allowing them to create their ideal environment for maximum productivity at any given time.

Memoori has conducted an in-depth survey of commercial real estate end users, and our findings are presented in this report.

WHY DO YOU NEED THIS REPORT?

  • Memoori believes we are at an inflexion point in the evolution of the office workplace. Tenants, owners and technology companies are all hungry to promote smarter workplaces. Why? Because progressive companies now know that by improving the health, comfort and wellbeing of employees, they can give a significant boost to their productivity.
  • The Internet of Things with its myriad of applications is continuously finding new ways to serve the worker and the enterprise. By flooding workspaces with sensors, enterprises are accumulating unprecedented levels of information, which is allowing for greater decision-making.
  • Data is the new utility in our information revolution and progressive building owners / operators are starting to reap the benefits of this new found intelligence, giving them an edge in recruiting and retaining the best employees.
  • However, the future workplace will not all be about technology. Research explored in this report explores the negative impacts of excessive technology use, and demonstrates that the best solutions do not have to be expensive but rather require a clear vision of what the optimum workplace should be.

At Memoori, we have decades of collective experience in the evaluation of building technology markets, and regularly publish reports on topics including Building Environmental Control Systems, Lighting Controls, Smart Grid, and Physical Security.

In this report, we use our experience to explore the evolving and emerging trends that will shape the future of work and redefine the workplace as we know it. Only by understanding all the perspectives can companies hope to navigate the evolution of the workplace in the Internet of things era.
