The Difference Between Desk Sharing and Workplace Strategy

Audience

CFOs, CRE leaders, employees

Core question

When is a sharing ratio strategy, and when is it just densification?

Thesis

A sharing ratio derived from measured rhythm, with service levels, overflow protocols and priced change costs, is strategy. The same number imported from a benchmark to close a business case is densification with a vocabulary.

Suggested structure
  1. The benchmark ratio and its failure modes
  2. Evidence-derived ratios: the anatomy
  3. The Tuesday problem
  4. What employees are owed when ratios change
