Research & Development

In a context of societal transformation, changing the ways of working and management, corporate real estate, and more particularly workspaces of all kinds, are becoming a valuable lever for companies. For any market player that advise companies, it is essential to anticipate trends, test new tools, experiment methods and, above all, measure feedbacks.

Concerned about supporting its customers in the long term and guaranteeing them advices and lasting operational recommendations, Colliers International France decided to invest 5 years ago in an R&D department that brings together researchers and experts in ergonomics, psychology and sociology of work.

Beyond our projects for our clients, our work results in the regular publication of articles and studies on 3 main subjects.

This workstream aims to innovate how we support our clients. We experiment new tools to support change towards new workspaces or the cultural transformation of a company. We are looking for new methods to better integrate quality of life at work and CSR issues into our design practices.

This is how we combine the Design Thinking methodology with the use of 3D tools. We value the contribution of geomatics to analyze territorial dynamics and identify future opportunities. Moreover we are experimenting with innovative framework such as OsmoZ, developed by Certivéa.

We are developing our work in partnership with players from the academic and innovation worlds; the CNAM, the Lab RH, Futuribles and Argomento, as well as with companies wishing to work with us on one of our research themes, such as Engie and AXA.
