It’s important to recognize that CRE (Corporate Real Estate) savings and organizational benefits are deeply interconnected.
​
CRE-related savings are primarily driven by reducing space through a shift away from traditional workplace models—where every individual is assigned a desk, cubicle, or private office—toward a more modern, fit-for-purpose strategy. This is achieved through Activity-Based Working (ABW): a people-centric methodology that creates a variety of shared worksettings tailored to specific tasks, team dynamics, and patterns of interaction.
​
Organizational benefits, such as increased productivity, reduced attrition, and improved engagement, are realized when companies adopt a deeply consultative approach. This includes actively involving employees in shaping their workplace—how it's configured, how space is used, and how the environment supports their work.
​
These two streams of value are mutually reinforcing—and both are core to our methodology as workplace consultants. While some interior designers or architects may reference similar principles, most do not apply the structured engagement processes required to unlock meaningful organizational outcomes. As a result, their solutions often fall short of delivering the full value potential reflected in this ROI model.​
