Transformational trends and critical metrics for real estate management
Until recently, choosing a location to open a new office, or even making the decision to expand in the first place was mainly driven by internal factors, predominantly based on needs and costs.
Today, however, organizations have many external factors that must be taken into account as well. For example, when determining the choice of a new location, organizations must think of geopolitical risks like Brexit, economical struggles like import duties, or societal challenges like overheated labor markets and the war for talent. So how do real estate professionals help their organizations to adapt to these external factors? How do they demonstrate their value to the C-level? What are the trends that drive the transformation of real estate? Which metrics and KPIs should be used to illustrate real estate performance?
To inspire business leaders and real estate professionals all over the world about how corporate real estate can contribute to the corporate business strategy, we are organizing a podcast series. In this series, respected real estate experts will share their experience and knowledge about market developments, how these developments affect organizational business strategies, and discuss best practices on the alignment and execution of a winning corporate real estate strategy. The first podcast is available now!
