Over time, offices are going to have much more to take care of than just to provide a common space for employees and management members. They are going to have to increase the team performance and secure effective collaboration within the enterprise, as well as communication with third parties. And of course, provide personalized service in accordance with the people and team’s needs.

Working environment goes hand in hand with habits and effectivity

Room design and technological platforms used in buildings are now able to support new strategies and they help people use digital technologies. Therefore development of new behaviours, procedures and expectations has been developing. According to last year’s study among entrepreneurs, done by Deloitte, 59 % of the questions are expecting new technologies to have a positive impact on the entire organization’s performance.

Where development is headed

The data gathered through devices connected to the internet are the foundation for artificial intelligence and machine learning. Therefore, they enable enterprises to change the way employees cooperate with buildings, rooms and spaces they are located in. The connection of the working environment and human capital is getting to the center of attention. Thanks to the fact that these systems are able to autonomously adapt to ever-changing requirements, further development will head towards personalized services for users and predictive awareness of individual needs.

It’s possible to apply technologies to older spaces as well

Of course technologies offer new options to older offices as well. The sensors will detect problem areas in the structure, as well as the spatial layout. The Building Information Modelling system can create a digital twin of specific areas and therefore, provide the ability to simulate various suggestions for improvements and solve potential problems before they take place in a real environment.

The main task for developers, investors and buildings’ owners is to identify and classify these trends in their portfolio before the market’s requirements catch them unprepared. To do so, knowledge of this sector and options that are offered by new technologies when forming the offer of commercial buildings is necessary.
