"The office isn't disappearing. It's become more important than ever, evolving into a more purposeful space supported by hybrid work."
CBRE, 2026
Hybrid working is now the default, but your office isn't getting any cheaper. For London-based businesses, it costs roughly 8-15% of your annual revenue [Savills, 2026]. And your leadership wants you to make difficult decisions to maximise your offices’ utility.
But only 7% of businesses are capable of capturing workplace data trustworthy enough to act on [JLL, 2026]. Whilst they free up budget, sharpen their competitive edge and re-invest in confidence, the remaining 93% are left guessing. Something you'd never dream of doing with your products, customers, or revenue.
Join us to explore where the real opportunity lies to optimise costs without cutting the wrong thing, and what role AI can actually play for you right now.
