Space management is planning, allocating and optimising how an organisation uses its floor space: which teams sit where, how much space each function gets, and how the layout evolves as the business changes.
Hybrid work moved space management from an occasional stack-and-block exercise to a continuous one. Allocation now follows attendance patterns that shift quarter to quarter, so the teams doing it well work from live utilisation data rather than annual headcount plans.
