Our Real Estate Strategy and Operations services

Initiatives we can help address

Balancing real estate supply with business demand to support an organization’s broader business strategy—whether it is going through a period of growth or contraction. 

Cost reduction, as corporate real estate continues to be one of the larger contributors to overall operating costs. 

Workplace strategy design to help organizations rethink how and where employees work—onsite or remotely—to achieve corporate goals, advance the desired culture, and promote collaboration. 

Space allocation to help companies determine which spaces are owned or shared and public or private along with the types of amenities and specialty spaces required to achieve enterprise aims. 

Service delivery optimization to help companies outsource support functions or bring previously outsourced functions back in-house to deliver a more consistent experience. 

Operating model reimagining to adapt teams to align with new ways of working while leveraging artificial intelligence, technology, and automation to optimize team size, structure, and composition.
