Automation for Inclusion
summary
A pragmatic workflow for inclusive smart spaces: tie building systems (lifts, sensors, conferencing, access control) into a PlaceOS layer and prioritise fixes that remove negative experiences (eg automate repetitive Excel or multi‑email tasks, streamline bookings) before chasing flashy additions. Use an axis model (remove negative / add value vs function / form) to steer decisions, treat constraints as creative fuel, set clear success and functionality goals, and follow the rule function before form so accessibility isn’t an afterthought.
