VFA Webinar
Real Estate Management: Evolution from Fire Fighting to Strategic Planning
During this interactive webinar, you’ll have the chance to converse with our panelists as they explore how organisations are leveraging their real estate assets for profitable growth and solid returns, while minimizing business risks. They’ll look at what high performance real estate organisations are doing to set themselves apart and how facilities managers are contributing to these business decisions.
Join us for an interactive online debate on how FMs are:
- Aligning real estate strategies with organisational mission
- Implementing capital asset management frameworks that give all stakeholders visibility into the process
- Managing costly business risks associated with facilities assets
- Prioritizing projects to enable corporate capital investments that yield the highest returns on facility assets
We'd be very interested to hear your take on the topic and would be
delighted if you would share your views during the webinar.
