Highlights from CBRE's Winning Case
Globalization is changing the landscape for corporate real estate (CRE) executives. Understanding the complexities of its risks and rewards, coupled with ever-mounting challenges of information overload can be overwhelming. Further, in the information age the world is neither round, nor flat; it's virtual and it's fast. The development of Global LaborView (GLV) enables CRE executives to make valuable contributions to addressing one of the biggest enterprise challenges facing us moving forward, successfully navigating and implementing solutions at the intersection where the corporate need for human capital meets real estate. GLV is a web-enabled application that synthesizes labor and real estate market intelligence on a unique, interactive platform.

How it works
For purposes specific to the GIA, innovation is defined as an activity or initiative that brings about a paradigm shift in the way business is done in a rapidly globalizing economy. It produces a new concept to practice and makes it a commercial success. It concerns the search for and the discovery, experimentation, development, imitation and adoption of new products, processes and organizational set-ups.
Launched in 2000, the GIA winners have spanned a wide geography, crossed multiple private and public sectors, touched on a diverse range of disciplines and brought an incredible array of precedent-setting case studies. The GIA winner is selected by peers with considerable real estate, workplace, service provider and academic experience.
