Introducing the Work Codex™, Intelligence for the New Era of Work

Beyond space and schedules. 

The Work Codex™ is Adaptiv’s proprietary system designed to help organizations optimize their work ecosystems by aligning space, time, technology, and human behavior. As hybrid work reshapes how, when, and where people work, Work Codex provides the AI-powered framework to make sense of it all and drive smart, sustainable strategies.

INSIGHTS

Current Workplace Strategies are Fragmented, Assumptive, and Static. The Work Codex™ addresses those shortfalls.

Work

The modern workplace ecosystem


This is the modern sense of work encompassing how and where we work, as well as the type of work being done in each space and place.

Codex

A framework and guidebook


The "Codex" is an authoritative set of principles, much like a well-crafted rulebook; it is a framework to optimize hybrid work models, company culture, productivity, real estate, and workplace design.

Many workplace strategies still treat real estate, human resources, IT, systems, and operations as separate entities, resulting in incomplete insights and misaligned workplace strategies and solutions. Space utilization is just the surface, and few tools reveal whether work is happening efficiently or effectively.


Work Codex™ solves for this by capturing real work patterns and translating them into actionable strategies that optimize productivity, space, and experience.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Organizations are rethinking the rules of work — redefining place, time, and process while turning to AI and tools to drive strategies and efficiencies.

Commercial real estate leaders are under pressure to rethink asset positioning, portfolio strategy, and investment models as demand dynamics evolve.


Product and service providers need to pivot fast, aligning their offerings with the new ways work is done and how space is used.


Employees and companies are rewriting the playbook for how when and where work gets done


WHAT WE BELIEVE

Enterprise companies need to enable employees to work how, when and where they choose. As a result, they need to re-engineer platforms, policy, process and tools for producing work


Companies skilled at “line-of-sight” management need new core competencies built around managing an increasingly distributed workforce


Companies that successfully balance employee expectations with business objectives will reduce employee turnover, lowering the associated “hard costs” and materially improve corporate performance

Commercial real estate businesses know they must reposition their assets, management and investment approaches in order to capture shifting demand


WHAT WE BELIEVE

Hybrid work trends continue to erode traditional demand and require commercial real estate owners to upgrade their value proposition to end-users to remain relevant and competitive


Owners need to deeply understand end-user buying patterns and needs, and underwrite to both lowered capital intensity and higher churn attributes of office space products that can better align with the planning horizons of the end-user


Orienting to a future with higher churn coupled with increased management intensity requires an evolution of asset and property management models and processes

Product and service providers to this sector must evolve their value proposition and their offerings to remain relevant in the face of these changing needs


WHAT WE BELIEVE

The commercial real estate industry vertical has disproportionately high intermediation due to friction in business models long overdue for innovation. Eliminating friction is inevitable


Maintaining, even growing services share requires creating value for clients / customers that is "less transactional" and more "advisory"


Intermediaries across the spectrum  working with investors, operators and occupiers will need to adapt to the changing needs of their customers

OVERVIEW

What is the Work Codex™


It's not another real estate tool. It is a whole new way to see work.


Work Codex™ redefines workplace optimization by:

  • Capturing real work patterns, not assumptions
  • Integrating across company-wide departments — HR, IT, Real Estate
  • Delivering measurable ROI in cost savings, productivity, and retention


Where other platforms track square footage needs, we track how work best flows — and makes it better.

It's a strategic lens into how work is produced and how to improve it.


Four Dimensions. One Unified System analyzing and optimizing for:

  • Space Intelligence – Understand how environments enable (or hinder) performance
  • Time & Rhythm Analysis – Map when people work best and why
  • Technology & Tools Mapping – Align digital tools with real workflows
  • Work Pattern Analytics – Capture the actual ways people collaborate, focus, and move through their day

Together, these elements form a complete picture of how work happens — and how to optimize it.

It's an AI-powered data-fueled framework to drive real-world results.

The Work Codex™

  • Connects people, process, place, and performance
  • Maps how work actually happens (not how it’s supposed to)
  • Continuously optimizes for cost, productivity, and talent retention
  • Aligns workplace strategy with business outcomes


Work Codex™ is your operating system to address the entire workplace ecosystem — flexible, intelligent, and built to perform.

The Missing Framework: Why Current Workplace Solutions Fall Short of Understanding Work Evolution

By Jeffrey Langdon • May 29, 2025
As organizations navigate post-pandemic workplace transformation, billions of dollars are being invested in workplace technology solutions. Yet most enterprises report difficulty translating data into actionable insights about how work is actually evolving. Current solutions address symptoms rather than causes, focusing on operational metrics rather than developing systematic understanding of workplace change. We propose that a fundamental shift in approach is needed—from measurement to learning.

Why Sensors + Digital Exhaust = Unbeatable Insights

By Jeffrey Langdon • May 22, 2025
The Complete Picture Requires Two Types of Data. Workplace intelligence is undergoing a profound transformation. Organizations seeking to optimize their workplaces have discovered that neither physical sensors nor digital system data alone provides the complete picture needed for truly informed decision-making. Only by combining these complementary data sources can companies unlock the full potential of workplace intelligence.
