Organizations collect more workplace data than ever before, yet many struggle to translate it into meaningful action. Disconnected systems, inconsistent reporting, and varying data definitions can make it difficult to understand how spaces are being used, where investments should be made, and how workplace strategies are performing. Creating a standardized approach to data governance enables leaders to make faster, more confident decisions while improving collaboration across functions. This workshop explores how workplace, facilities, and real estate teams can establish stronger data governance practices and standardize key metrics to create a single source of truth for the organization. Learn how better data management can drive more effective planning, portfolio optimization, and employee experience initiatives. 

Key Takeaways: 

Build a consistent framework for workplace data that improves reporting accuracy and cross-functional alignment 

Identify governance strategies that eliminate conflicting metrics and create greater trust in workplace insights 

Discover how standardized data supports smarter space planning, occupancy analysis, and portfolio decision-making

Through practical use cases, they demonstrate how to improve performance, reduce cost, and elevate the workplace experience without adding new technology.
