When it comes to determining the appropriate real estate requirement for your business, there are several important factors to consider.  Most often, the easier approach of using existing conditions as a basis to assign size and adjacency is not always a realistic platform.  Whether it’s a new real estate requirement, or lease renewal consideration, it is important to evaluate things from a qualitative level.  

• Has your business model changed in the last 5 years?

• Has remote work affected your workplace?

• How is technology impacting how your teams work?

• What are the important cultural impacts that need to remain (or change)?

Strategic Change Solutions will help you strategically consider the qualitative factors that greatly impact the program summary.  This process can also coincide with a leadership visioning and discovery exercise to help provide alignment at the management level as well.

So . . . how much space do we need?

The answer to this question is not always easy to recognize, especially as your work environment continues to change over time. Changes in the size and makeup of your workforce, combined with the effects of remote work can have profound effects on your space needs.  Using a strategic set of “tools” ensures the programming process addresses not only the quantitative needs, but also the important qualitative factors that can greatly impact the final plan.  Dedicated time is spent understanding operational workflow, the inter-departmental dependencies, and adjacencies, cultural dynamics, and department space needs including any important infrastructure requirements.  The final deliverable will provide the appropriate validation needed for an organization to take the next steps in their project plan…actionable data (including estimated square footage needs) that the real estate team can use to make decisions affecting the market and available space.
