Leader Insights: An interview with Lauren Scott
Vice President, Marketing & Sustainability, Intelligent Spaces Group
Lauren Scott joined Acuity in 2017, and has played a central role in defining the Intelligent Spaces Group growth strategy. Over the last 12 months, Lauren has seen the benefit of our corporate transformation.
It’s been incredibly exciting to watch Acuity’s digital transformation, especially how our team within the Intelligent Spaces Group has evolved.
With the combination of the existing talent and the new talent coming in, we have a diverse set of people with an incredible breadth of knowledge. Our team includes individuals with backgrounds in operational technology, information technology, building intelligence, and people from large enterprises who are very disciplined in terms of processes. As a result, we are set up for scalability and are in a strong position to execute well.
When we talk about a building’s performance, we think of it through the lens of it being Smarter, Safer, Greener.
Companies are not only responsible for what’s inside of their four walls; they also have to ensure that they are good corporate stewards, community members, and global citizens. Operating a smarter, safer, greener space such as a physical building is one of the ways a company can advance its ESG goals. Understanding the needs of a space and its consumption patterns in real-time is the digital backbone of an intelligent space. Through the collection and interpretation of data, you can transform a space’s consumption and emission patterns while ensuring that the comfort of the occupants is not overlooked.
Analyzing data and extracting meaningful insights is an ongoing process that delivers continuous improvement for buildings and the people who use them.
Whether it’s the systems within the building or the occupants within a space, one of the big problems we’re helping our customers solve is how to get as much data about a space as possible. We want to analyze that data and extract meaningful insights to help our customers identify opportunities for improving building performance, improving enterprise operations, and providing better personal experiences for occupants or visitors of that space. Then, we want to work alongside our customers to "act" on those insights, solving a problem to improve the building’s performance.
