The office of the future is flexible, adaptive, and smart, but ensuring its efficiency requires more than brilliant design - predictive management is vital for meeting user expectations across tenancy management, property, and technology support teams.Predictive management leverages technology and data to anticipate and resolve problems before they arise. Here's why it’s essential for modern workplaces:1. Maximising Space Utilisation: Analysing usage patterns helps optimise office real estate, allowing spaces to be adapted to suit evolving needs. Did you know? Up to 40% of meeting rooms in typical office spaces are underutilised or inefficiently used.2. Enhancing Employee Experience: Proactively monitoring and maintaining equipment ensures seamless, frustration free meetings. A well functioning space directly boosts morale and engagement.3. Supporting Hybrid Work: Equipping rooms with the right tools support smooth collaboration between onsite and remote teams. This is especially important as 74% of companies plan to permanently shift to hybrid work styles.4. Improving Productivity: Minimising downtime by addressing technical issues before they disrupt meetings is key. If an issue cannot be fixed, predictive systems can book alternative rooms in advance and notify participants. The average employee spends up to 31 hours a month in unproductive meetings - improving meeting efficiency can significantly reduce this.5. Sustainability and Cost Savings: Optimising energy use and reducing unnecessary expenses through data insights contributes to greener operations. Sustainable office solutions can reduce energy costs by up to 30%, according to Energy Star.In the office of the future, predictive management ensures that meeting rooms and collaboration spaces are always ready, helping businesses stay agile and efficient.By investing in proactive and predictive management, companies can boost employee engagement, improve productivity, and reduce costs - potentially reinvesting savings into creating workplaces built for the future.Spacera is a leader in Meeting Rooms as a Service (MRaaS).

The Future of Office Spaces: Why Predictive Management is Key

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, the concept of how we meet, collaborate, and innovate is undergoing a transformation. Enter MRaaS, or Meeting Room as a Service, a model that's poised to redefine our understanding of meeting spaces. But what exactly is MRaaS, and why is it considered a game-changer?Understanding MRaaSMRaaS isn't just about managing meeting rooms; it's about providing a comprehensive service that includes technology, support, and flexibility, all tailored to the modern business environment. Here's why it's becoming pivotal:<ul><li>Proactive and Predictive: Waiting for end users to alert the service desk of a fault with meeting room technology might mean that the room may have been out of action for days or weeks. Monitoring meeting rooms for slight changes from its known good state, allows for a proactive response to rectify the incident. Anything from a HDMI cable which has been disconnected and put back into a different port, or a display which has failed. All these issues can be reported automatically and kick off predefined workflows to resolve.</li><li>Automated Start of Day Testing: Placing a video call to each meeting room every day, testing video quality, audio quality and microphone quality programmatically is the best way to ensure your meeting spaces are ready for the busy day of scheduled meetings.</li><li>Holistic Workflow Processes: When an issue is detected and requires an onsite resource to replace a broken component, an automated workflow for approval of time and materials as well engagement of AV technicians is the quickest way to ensure your meeting room is up and running as quickly as possible. Whilst waiting for the technician to arrive, an automated workflow to move existing meetings in that room to a suitable alternative ensures your meetings are started on time and disruption is minimised. <strong style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(18px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(18px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));">Shift Towards Innovation</li></ul>MRaaS doesn't just change how meeting spaces are managed; it influences company culture. By providing access to state-of-the-art technology coupled with a proactive and predictive managed service with automated workflows, your staff can focus on what matters most. This shift can lead to more dynamic, creative, and efficient meetings, where the focus is on ideas rather than a bad meeting room experience.MRaaS stands at the forefront of reimagining how we think about meeting spaces. It's not just about convenience or cost-saving; it's about revolutionising how businesses operate in a connected world. As we look towards the future, MRaaS could very well be the catalyst that transforms our workplaces into hubs of innovation, collaboration, and efficiency, making the old ways of meeting seem as outdated as the technologies of yesteryears.Spacera is a leader in MRaaS, speak to our friendly team today to find out how we can help your organisation collaborate better and get the most out of your Meeting Spaces.
