Post Occupancy Evaluation:
Measuring the success of the workplace
Nigel Oseland, author of the BCO Guide to Post Occupancy Evaluation, has kindly agreed to run another of his very successful workshops on POE.
About the course:
Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is the systematic process for measuring a building’s performance after it has been occupied for some time; in particular it reveals how well the building supports the occupying business.
POE is predominately used to establish a baseline and measure project success, but it is also used for informing the design process, initiating the change management programme, and capturing any lessons learned for future projects.
This short course will cover:
• The definition of POE and its importance
• The methods and metrics of POE, eg staff feedback, expert walkthroughs, physical measurement, space analysis, utilisation & costing
• How to design and conduct a POE, in particular staff surveys and other feedback techniques
• Measurement of quality, staff satisfaction and the impact on performance
• Interpreting feedback, analysing data and presenting POE results including sharing lessons learned
• Examples of established POE methodologies
• Workshop on creating your own POE method
Delegates will also receive a complimentary copy of the BCO Guide to Post Occupancy Evaluation.
Who should attend?
This course will be of most benefit to occupiers, facilities managers, designers and consultants interested in measuring the performance of their buildings.
