The challenge
As part of its reflection on the evolution of its work environment, Sibelga aimed to focus specifically on the use of its building. The objective was to provide objective input to support this reflection: how are the relevant spaces actually used today? To what extent do these usage patterns support future ambitions in terms of organisation, operations, and occupancy?
The goal was to gather objective data to guide upcoming decisions and to contribute to the development of a coherent and realistic vision of the work environment.
Our approach
To support Sibelga in this process, we deployed our occupancy analysis tool braincount within the relevant area of the building. The floor plans were integrated into the platform, enabling a structured analysis of the different space types and their usage.
An observation phase was then carried out over a representative period to measure the actual occupancy of workstations and available spaces. This approach enabled the collection of objective data, independent of perceptions, and directly comparable to future intentions.
The insights derived from these observations directly informed the reflection on the evolution of the space and provided concrete guidance for upcoming decisions.
The result
The assignment provided Sibelga with objective reference points to guide decisions regarding the evolution of its building.
This approach strengthened the alignment between future ambitions and on-the-ground reality by securing operational choices based on objective data. Sibelga now has a solid foundation to evolve its workspaces in a controlled manner and in line with its long-term objectives.
