The old joke about sourcing/procurement leaders delivering the boardroom table without actually having a seat at the table still rings true at many large companies, especially for leaders of real estate and facilities management (RE/FM) operations. But true innovators in the space have earned a reputation for being high-value, strategic thought partners for the business – not just order-takers. In that sense, they are helping to shape critical transformation initiatives and assuming leadership roles as companies address changing workforce demographics, sustainability, globalization and the need to foster highly collaborative, innovation-driven cultures.
Topics in this session included:
- The role of Real Estate in cultural transformation
- How to set an innovation example
- How to plan for next-generation workforces
- How to optimize the global footprint proactively
