White Paper: The Evolution of Co-Working and Impact on Corporate Real Estate (Strategy and Portfolio Planning Knowledge Community)
Corporate Occupiers and End Users are taking a bigger step into co-working spaces as they discover the advantages that those third-party operated spaces offer in terms of flexibility, convenience and speed to market. As co-working continues to evolve, it remains to be seen just how big of a role the space will play within larger corporate real estate portfolios, and the answer will not be the same for every industry or organization.
White Paper: JLL - Lease Accounting Changes Will Trigger C-Suite Pressures: Are You Ready to Respond? (Strategy & Portfolio Planning Knowledge Community)

Article: Add this tool to your strategic disposition toolbox - By Mattias Graff
In 1917, The U.S. Congress passed into law and into the IRS code, what is currently known as, Section 170. This section of the IRS code allows for and defines how the deduction of charitable gifts works whether it is cash, goods, stock, art, or…real estate. We all recognize the altruistic part of donating something to people and charities that can use the help, but there is also a self-interest aspect to this. You get a valuable tax deduction!
White Paper: Strategic Facilities Management: The Changing Face of FM (Strategic Facilities Management Knowledge Community)
The profession has been talking about the changing role of facilities management (FM) for years. Tasks such as replacing lightbulbs, maintaining equipment and managing cleaning crews still fall into the FM bucket. However, FM is increasingly focused on the macro picture of supporting people, place and productivity. The scope of those new roles and responsibilities – along with the pace of change – still varies widely within organizations. However, across organizations, FM is finding that it has a bigger voice in both real estate and business strategy.

Presentation: Magnet Workplaces: What is the Attraction?
Space makes a statement. It can be good or bad, right or wrong. It is also a physical representation of brand. When people walk into a space, their subconscious is working to take in signals that form an immediate impression of what it's all about. Therefore, the choices our clients make in the design of their workspace communicate who they are. Recognizing that people were misinterpreting their brand - who they are and how they work - Microsoft looked to the physical workplace as part of its strategy to communicate its connected workforce, agility, and entrepreneurialism. Making a dramatic move from promising an office for all, to the new Intelligent Workplace strategy required the integrated efforts of Microsoft's Global Workplace Strategy team, Gensler's Consulting and Architectural teams and Microsoft's Business Leadership. This cross-functional partnership yielded an award-winning workplace, physically describing the culture and mission of Microsoft and its people.
