What do they do?
Most organizations, in one way or another, have a need to manage the "where"
component of how work gets down. This generally falls to the Corporate Real
Estate (CRE) Division or equivalent. CRE organizations are entrusted to manage
three distinct aspects of the "where" equation:

Manage Physical environment and accompanying support services


Workplace that an organization relies on to execute its work

Manage Buildings, infrastructure and other capital investment


Assets required to support an effective Workplace

Aggregation and transaction of assets and workplaces


Manage within the contextual requirements of an organization's
Portfolio need for proximity to customers, suppliers, partners and
employees

Portfolio Optimization
Portfolio Optimization: Definitions

¡ Deloitte is engaged by clients on two types of portfolio management consulting services:


– Strategy and Process for use of Capital, e.g. buy vs. lease decisions
– Portfolio rationalization in support of an enterprise level initiative such as cost
reduction, merger and integration, consolidation, etc.
¡ The first type of portfolio optimization typically involves comparisons of various asset
classes and their risk-weighted returns to capital. Decisions boil down to comparisons of
a firm’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) vs. the returns from owning property.
Other decision criteria include:
– the firm’s ability and appetite to be a landlord
– the firm’s ability to create and capture value through its tenancy
– the firm’s long term location plans
– industry norms, and
– views of Wall Street analysts and similar stakeholders
¡ A majority of our projects focus on the second type of portfolio optimization – the

analysis of specific sites to develop a long term portfolio strategy

space
¡ An asset mix that reflects the firm’s balance sheet strategy: potential one-time capital
gains from alignment of ownership structure with investment objectives
¡ A portfolio strategy that supports evolving workplace requirements, fostering an
environment that improves
– Collaboration and teaming
– Mobility and flexible working arrangements
– Employee engagement
¡ The capability to update that strategy in response to evolving corporate prerogatives,

…and the CRET team helps clients adapt to drivers of AWS and transform real estate from a
cost center to an enabler of the organization’s mission – lowering costs and increasing
effectiveness of real estate. To this end, the client requires a holistic approach that
incorporates real estate, technology, human capital, and financial considerations.

Workplace Strategy is…
…the alignment of work patterns and corporate strategy with the
physical work environment
Traditional workplace strategy entails:
• Predominately closed office environment, with hierarchal levels of work
spaces (small cubicle to corner office)
• 1 : 1 space assignment (one workspace for one employee)
• Lack of alignment with technological provisions and human capital strategy
and policies
• “Office Space”-like conditions

Alternative workplace strategy entails:


• Open space plans with minimal hierarchy and enhanced collaborative space

CRET_Alternative Workplace Strategies_USCONS-2176_DLC Delivered_Updated(Apr6).pptx


• Higher than 1 : 1 space assignment ratio (by employing ‘hoteling’ or similar
strategy for mobile employees to reduce RE footprint)
• Strong alignment with technology (to enable mobility) and human capital (to
ensure policies and hiring/retention strategies are synchronized)

There is still wide variability in market maturity, service delivery
platforms, and the availability of skilled labor around the globe

• Home to numerous multi-national organizations delivering integrated I-FM services on a global platform
• US I-FM providers typically offer Facilities Management, Project Management and Transaction
US Market Management services as part of their I-FM platform
(Mature) • The US I-FM market has seen significant merger and acquisition activity in the last several years, as
major players seek to broaden their service delivery platform by adding to their core services through
acquisition of peer organizations

• Has not traditionally exhibited a link between Facilities Management services and Transaction /
Brokerage services
• Increasingly, providers are beginning to expand their menu of services from what were historically
European Market maintenance/operations tasks (i.e. cleaning, food services) to more technical services (i.e. energy
(Evolving) management)
• The European market exhibits varying states of maturity in the field of I-FM services; The United
Kingdom and Germany are the early adopters of I-FM services and countries like Spain are only
beginning to take advantage of the benefits offered by the industry

• Fully evolved industries employing highly educated and skilled practitioners (e.g. Japan) exist alongside
nascent markets, where skilled labor is scarce and a track record of success is not yet present (e.g.
Asia/Pacific Market China)
(Variable) • The most common trait of the Asia/Pacific I-FM industry is the practice of multi-nationals entering the
market place through acquisition or joint venture
• Major European and US organizations are establishing footholds by teaming up with, or simply buying,
local service providers to gain market presence and obtain local knowledge.

bundling and partnership approaches

managing internal and service provider staffing and performance

workforce/labor analytics, Sustainability/Energy Management, Economic incentives (CBRE-CoreNet 2009)

and cost segregation/tax strategy (CBRE-CoreNet 2009)
Services • General trend toward bundling Operation and Maintenance, Custodial and Security Services and Landscaping
and further bundling accomplished by including Transactions and Project Management
• Testing of the relationship with the admin portfolio, then migrate to the more technical portfolio

• Providers continue to grow in size and capabilities through mergers and acquisitions

Approaches with • Sophisticated providers train their own staff and their networked suppliers; also provide education for clients
Service Providers • Landlords and traditional real estate service providers are now competing for service revenue and are now
competing against traditional infrastructure service providers (data and voice networks)
• Service providers are being asked to put more “at risk”
