After years of fluctuating working and shifting economic pressures, many CREs and Workplace executives are rationalizing the size of their portfolios, specifically if they currently have an adapted hybrid way of working.

Most often, people are not coming to office in the same way as they once did. Are there still inefficiencies you can shed to right-size space? How do we optimize our portfolio? And most importantly, reduce our operating costs.

Join this workshop to:

·       Hear real life examples of how to analyze your current need for space

·       Conduct a stay vs. go analysis: staying in place and rightsizing can lead to saving operating costs – or do we spend capital to rationalize footprint change

·       Understand the ROI implications and cost savings strategies to consider when conducting your analysis

·       Unpack the risk implications

·       Hear success stories of space utilization to optimize with current real estate and practical ways to repurpose space
