CRE executives: Agility should be a top priority

Corporate real estate executives are employing strategies that add bottom-line value through quick responsiveness (agility) to changing business and economic conditions. A new survey conducted by CBRE, in partnership with CoreNet Global, reveals a need for corporate real estate departments to become more effective partners in the agile transformation of their broader organizations. “The mid-term planning horizon for long-term real estate decisions is uncertain at this stage in the economic cycle, and exponential technology advances are further challenging how and where work gets done,” said Julie Whelan, Americas head of occupier research, CBRE. “Focusing on agile processes today will help occupiers better prepare for inevitable change in the future.”
