OCCUPIERWORLD® is built by occupiers, for occupiers. This page explains how the community works and how to get the most from it.
About Occupierworld
What is OCCUPIERWORLD®?
OCCUPIERWORLD® is a practitioner-led global network for in-house property, workplace and facilities professionals. Independent by design, it offers a trusted platform where members can share operational success stories, explore collaboration opportunities and tap into the collective intelligence of their peers worldwide.
Our vision is to give a fragmented global corporate real estate community the social infrastructure it needs to collaborate more openly, build on each other's ideas and turn shared insight into collective intelligence.
Join the community and connect with like-minded peers worldwide.
Who runs OCCUPIERWORLD®?
OCCUPIERWORLD® is run by a small team of volunteer administrators and moderators.
When was OCCUPIERWORLD® launched?
OCCUPIERWORLD® was launched during the pandemic to promote cross-functional peer collaboration on common operational workplace challenges.
We're currently upgrading the platform to enable occupiers to co-create prompts & playbooks together, across the full corporate real estate life cycle.
What is the mission of OCCUPIERWORLD®?
The mission has not changed since day one: give a fragmented global community the infrastructure it needs to build on each other's ideas.
What do I get from being a member?
OCCUPIERWORLD® empowers a fragmented and geographically dispersed global community of corporate occupiers to build on each other's thinking and unlock the boundless potential of their collective expertise.
Whilst professional associations serve the broader market, the intelligence most needed is real-world insight, i.e. what's been tried, what actually worked, where performance fell short and what peers would do differently next time. These kinds of peer-level learnings have always been the hardest to access, yet are often the most actionable.
What's coming next?
What comes next is the ability to group message your occupier peers based on common asset locations, building by building, street by street, anywhere in the world.
Right now, most in-house teams only see a fraction of the market. Broker-led searches typically surface only the actively marketed stock, often just 4-5% of total inventory in any given city. The remaining 95% is occupied and effectively invisible.
We believe a common building-level messaging tool will open up new portfolio collaboration possibilities by empowering occupiers to tap into the hidden 95%, collaborate with peers in the same buildings and directly surface off-market opportunities.

How the Community Works
Spotlight: where thought leadership gets smarter
Spotlight is where peers share, rate and debate the articles shaping the occupier world. Found something worth reading? Share it. Spotted something worth challenging? Say so. Every article shared ensures no good idea stays unexamined and no great article left undiscovered.
Forum Channels: where the conversation starts
Post a question. Share an insight. Explore an idea. Our open forum channels put the ASK. CHALLENGE. BUILD. ethos into practice, creating the common space where networking, serendipity and peer exchange turn community thinking into shared intelligence.
Publish: where occupiers think big
Publish is where peers share their own thinking on the forces reshaping the occupier world. Looking to challenge occupier minds to think bigger, deeper and more openly? Publish it. Ideas shape everything and our platform is built for the practitioners who want to think big.
Directory: where peers share resources worth finding
The Occupier's Guide is a peer-curated directory of the go-to resources, tools and references shaping the occupier world. Found something worth bookmarking? Add it. Discovered something worth rating? Say so. No good resource goes undiscovered when peers explore together.
Community hashtags: to tag or not to tag
Adding a tag connects your question, insight or idea to a topic, improving discoverability for every member, now and in the future. You can add multiple tags to any post or entry by selecting from our topic list. The more accurately you tag, the further your thinking travels.
Moderators are tasked with keeping tags focused and searchable. If a topic you need isn't there, send a suggestion to a moderator who will be happy to action new suggestions as the community grows.
Membership Tiers, Account Settings and Playbook Quests
Membership Tiers: collaborators and occupiers
Our OCCUPIERWORLD® community is made up of collaboratos and occupiers with badges assigned to users to actively building the community's knowledge base. Quests are designed to gamify experiences and reward contributions with badges, based on conversations started, thinking shared and ideas challenged. Practitioners holding the Playbook Badge are invited to collaborate on our pilot for a peer-built operating system for CRE teams.
Profile and Account Settings: settings and preferences
Find everything you need to edit profile and manage your account by simply clicking on your user name on the top right of the screen.
Leaderboards reflect the members whose contributions are shaping the community most — measured by posts, ratings, responses and playbook submissions. Find them under your profile activity feed. The more you ask, challenge and build, the further you rise.
Estate Directory: find and message the occupiers in a building
Your Estate Directory is how OCCUPIERWORLD® connects you with other occupier representatives sitting in the same building, anywhere in the world. Upload your locations using our simple spreadsheet template to send targeted group messages to every occupier representative in the same building or street. Direct Messaging and Location-Based Asset Messaging are limited to Occupier Members only.
The Prompt Playbook: redesigning CRE for an AI-native world
The Prompt Playbook is a community-authored library of AI prompts, workflows and operating checklist built by and for corporate occupiers. Membership is invite only.
