2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The third biennial Global
Corporate Real Estate Survey
canvassed over 500 corporate
real estate leaders in 36
different countries and a variety
of industries on the current
shape and future direction of
corporate real estate
Companies have high
expectations for CRE around
improving workplace
productivity – with over ¾ of
respondents experiencing this
Nearly 90% have implemented
or are planning space/cost
reduction programs
- However this seems to be
tapped out – and companies
appear to be increasingly
focusing on improving workplace
experience, technology and
change management
The survey finds that levels of
outsourcing for more strategic
corporate real estate services –
such as workplace strategy,
portfolio strategy, and change
management – are low relative
to more tactical/technical
services such as IFM, lease
administration, and project and
construction management
- Nevertheless, as with all CRE
services asked about,
outsourcing levels are expected
to increase over the next three
years, with workplace strategy
most likely to be fully outsourced
- This also means there’s a lot of
untapped opportunity
