The Smartest Woman in Facilities Planning Isn’t a Human: Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), found a way to make facilities planning stress-free with an algorithm.



When you hear the term “planning” does it cause a sudden burst of anxiety? Regardless of industry, face-to-face planning sessions can be tense enough to make teams over-think or perhaps under-analyze crucial concepts based on incomplete data. Depending on a team’s resources, data could be outdated, factually incorrect, or not thorough enough to project growth or stagnation.
