Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of McDonald's Global Office in Mexico City, hosted within a co-working environment. This visit offers a rare opportunity to see how a major global brand has rapidly built and scaled a shared services capability without committing to a long-term, high-cost real estate footprint.

Attendees will:

· Explore a flexible co-working–based model

See how McDonald's has used a co-working setting to grow from a small office into a full-floor operation, aligning space expansion with headcount growth and business demand while avoiding the risks of a traditional 10-year lease.

· Understand the real-world pros and cons of co-working for shared services

Hear candid insights on what works well (speed to launch, ease of scaling, outsourced workplace services) and the trade-offs (security, access control, limitations on customization) that leaders must manage when operating in a shared environment.

· Learn how to plan for the transition to permanent space

Gain perspective on how McDonald's is using its co-working experience and improved headcount visibility to inform budgeting, design, and timing for an eventual permanent site avoiding over- or under-investment.

This tour is ideal for leaders considering co-working or satellite locations for their shared services or capability centers, and who want a practical, unvarnished view of how this model works in day-to-day operations—what it enables, where it constrains, and how to make it a strategic stepping stone to a more permanent solution.
