FR08 The Business Case for Better Design: How to Affect a Change in Behaviors and Roles
05/16/2008, 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM


Learning Units: 1.00-Intermediate level

Training Units: 0.25-Training Area 5 (Building Cost Analysis)

Decisions regarding real estate have historically been made primarily on price. Companies realize that energy costs, the growing war for talent, and the rising need for agility in real estate are combining to generate an appetite for value and not just price. From current trends, statistics, projects, and concepts, you will discover new ways to introduce the language of value thereby affecting decisions made about corporate real estate with notable results for all stakeholders.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify and describe the "nonvalue" and contrast with the "value" perspectives and issues to explain the context of the conversation
  • Relate these perspectives to the old paradigms and demonstrate changes to provide strategies that can be applied in your practice
  • Summarize with actual financial models and statistics that illustrate the actual value connection
Speaker: Bill Black, LEED AP
