Providing senior executives with transparency, control and direction to their property activity. Involves a review of the current property portfolio against business objectives and changing business models. Provides clear recommendations and a property plan for practical implementation including cost reduction, tenure flexibility and location mix. Typically reviews also provide guidance and recommendations on internal controls in the light of increasing governance regulation and evolving International Accounting Standards.

Reviews often involve external supplier performance audits and advice on procurement and outsourcing, followed by project management of the outsourcing process, mentoring the in house team and recruitment of new team members if appropriate.

Property is often used as a catalyst to support business change, requiring the development and programme management of strategies through periods of transition. Change management includes setting the property vision, creating an action plan, obtaining buy-in and thereafter implementing efficiently, with ongoing measurement to ensure change is embedded and sustainable.

A wide variety of projects are undertaken in the UK and globally. These include: arranging the rapid exit of surplus property portfolios; relocation management; implementing international property projects; managing property due diligence and subsequent integration plans on corporate acquisitions/dispositions; and independent validation of key property proposals.

Sometimes the strategy and approach is clear but sourcing talented experienced managers to programme manage and implement change in a structured manner is difficult. Our extensive client side experience means we can provide best in class interim resource either in the short or medium term.
