Smarter Workplace Planning with Compass AI
Compass AI, powered by MillerKnoll and guided by CFI Workspace, delivers real-time metrics, budgets, and visualizations to answer those questions early.
Whether you’re a broker, project manager, landlord, designer, or end user, Compass helps align stakeholders, speed decisions, and reduce risk—long before design or construction begins.
Whether exploring new real estate, planning a relocation, or rethinking existing offices, workplace decisions require clarity, speed, and alignment across many stakeholders. Brokers need to narrow options quickly. Landlords want to attract and retain tenants. Architects and designers need to align vision with function. Project managers must deliver on time and on budget. And organizations are asking: will this space truly work for our people?
MillerKnoll’s Compass AI, paired with the expertise of CFI Workspace, helps answer that question earlier and more clearly than ever before. Powered by advanced AI and decades of workplace research, Compass delivers real-time space metrics, high-level budgets, and clear visualizations. With MillerKnoll and CFI Workspace guiding interpretation and next steps, stakeholders gain actionable insights to make confident decisions long before design or construction begins and furniture planning begins.
Explore Workplace Strategy Options
With just a few inputs, Compass AI can model a range of workplace scenarios such as shifting the balance between collaborative and individual spaces, or planning for mobile or hybrid employees. These outputs reveal how strategy decisions impact square footage, budgets, and employee experience.
The result: tailored insights that reflect culture, program requirements, and growth needs—helping leaders evaluate whether a space will truly support evolving workstyles.
Go Beyond “Will It Fit?”
Traditional space calculators focus only on headcount. Compass goes further by showing how a space can truly work. By generating high-level layouts, conceptual budgets and floor plan visualization, it illustrates how different workplace strategies impact usability, cost and performance.
These early insights give stakeholders confidence that a team will not only fit, but thrive—while still allowing flexibility for architectural alignment, code compliance, and design refinement later in the process.
Engage and Align Key Players
Workplace decisions involve many perspectives and big workplace decisions can’t be made in silos. Compass, combined with CFI Workspace and MillerKnoll’s expertise, gets everyone on the same page fast—brokers, project managers, landlords, designers, and end users. With clear data and rapid “what if” scenarios, stakeholders align earlier, decisions move faster, and outcomes improve.
