As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integral to modern operations, organizations are leveraging its capabilities to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. One key area where AI is making a substantial impact is in optimizing workplace space availability. By utilizing AI-driven insights, companies can significantly improve space utilization, elevate employee experiences, and reduce operational costs.
In our recent webinar, "AI for Workplace Decisions," experts Jamie Kinch, VP of Corporate Real Estate and Facilities at Moderna, Kelby Green, Co-founder and CTO at VergeSense, and Kanav Dhir, VP of Product at VergeSense, explored the latest trends in AI for the workplace. They shared valuable insights on how AI is transforming workplace operations and highlighted its potential to revolutionize space management. Here’s their top four tips for optimizing space availability with AI.
AI technology can help organizations achieve increased ROI. Collecting utilization data through sensors allows businesses to ask complex questions and iterate on answers, leading to improved building design and utilization.
Kinch shared a compelling example of how AI-powered sensors enabled his team to analyze conference room usage and resource allocation at Moderna, optimizing space utilization within their organization. Using Workplace Assistant, he was able to quickly ask and answer questions based on sensor data, gaining valuable insights without the frustration of manual analysis.
Key Takeaway: AI-powered solutions like Workplace Assistant provide rapid insights, allowing you to improve space availability and efficiency in the workplace swiftly. This leads to increased ROI and decreased wasted costs.
To fully understand workplace usage and availability, organizations need data from multiple sources. However, integrating these disparate data sources and creating a cohesive story for effective decision-making can be challenging.
AI provides the flexibility to unify various data sources, offering decision-makers comprehensive context. Workplace Assistant is particularly valuable in this use case, allowing you to gain deeper insights and make more informed decisions. It eliminates the complexities of data integration, empowering decision-makers with a holistic understanding of workplace dynamics.
Key Takeaway: AI makes it easy to view and analyze multiple data sources, providing a clearer, more comprehensive picture of workplace usage and availability than ever before.
As workplaces become more agile and adaptable, traditional roles within businesses will transform. Developing the necessary skills to leverage AI effectively is crucial, enabling organizations to quickly iterate on data-driven insights to adapt and optimize their workplaces.
According to Microsoft data, 75% of knowledge workers use AI at work today, and 46% of users started using it less than six months ago. Users say AI helps them save time (90%), focus on their most important work (85%), be more creative (84%), and enjoy their work more (83%).
As workplaces become more data-driven, the role of AI in assisting decision-making is becoming increasingly vital. Organizations must familiarize themselves with this transformative technology to stay competitive.
