About Occupier World®
What is OCCUPIERWORLD®?
OCCUPIERWORLD® is an independent practitioner-led global network for in-house property, workplace and facilities professionals. It offers a trusted platform where members of the corporate real estate profession can share operational success stories, explore collaboration opportunities and discover the surprising power of peers thinking together.
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.
Who runs it?
It is run by a small team of experienced occupier-side professionals, who like you are passionate about fostering connections and collaborating with thier peer community.
When was it launched?
It 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's the mission?
The mission has not changed since day one: give a fragmented global community the infrastructure it needs to build on each other's ideas.

Interested to know what your peers know?
Our social networking tools 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.
We are currently seeking lighthouse members to help build our Collective Intelligence Lab. For more information please get in touch.

Roles, Leaderboard and Quests
Members: collaborators and verified occupiers
Anyone can become a collaborator by simply singing-in and joining the Occupier World® community which brings together public collaborators, recognised client-side occupier teams and community moderators. All members can contribute to the collective creativity of the community, with recognition on leaderboards and trophies given to those actively sharing insight, starting conversations and building practical knowledge others can use.

You earn reputation when members rate or vote your posts. Leaderboards give recognition given to top community contributions who are actively shaping the community, measured by submissions, responses and community member ratings.

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.
What's next?
What comes next is the ability to use building-based messaging tools to group message peers based on common estate directory holdings, , 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.
Occupier Members are invited to trial Asset-Based Messaging to connect with members with common portfolio holdings. To add locations, simply click on your user name on the top right of the screen, select 'Estate Directory' and add locations to you profile.
