Corporate real estate (CRE) outsourcing is becoming more progressive and innovative than ever before – and far less transactional. According to JLL’s new report, “The Converging Priorities of CRE Outsourcing”, instead of looking for traditional vendors (and typically several) that can handle on-the-ground tactical services, some of the world’s leading companies are seeking real estate service partners who act more like predictive management consultants. These partnerships are more collaborative and data driven, handle cutting-edge technology and help drive the entire enterprise to become more profitable and productive. This is the definition of Outsourcing 4.0, the new era of CRE outsourcing.

Topics covered in this session included:

• How CRE outsourcing has evolved from other forms of industry outsourcing
• Three signs that C-suites are poised for an outsourcing strategy revolution
• The new roles and skills expected of both external partners and internal teams
• Ways outsourcing buyers have engaged CRE Outsourcing 4.0 firms to improve profitability, productivity and the employee experience
