Corporate real estate (CRE) has long been positioned by industry professionals as “no longer just a cost center”— a major balance-sheet item, but more a key contributor of business outcomes, talent retention, and corporate culture, acting as a critical bridge between the C-suite, Business units, and operational objectives. With occupancy costs representing 5–15% or more of operating expenses and many CEOs naming talent availability as their top risk, one question remains: how does the C-suite really view CRE today? Join a panel of senior business executives as they share a candid look at the real value of corporate real estate, including how they evaluate the impact of corporate real estate on enterprise performance, talent strategy, and organizational agility. The discussion goes beyond theory to explore where CRE teams are adding real value today, and where opportunities are being missed. If real estate disappeared tomorrow, would it matter—or does the workplace and CRE leadership play a critical role as an enabler of business growth, innovation, and performance? This session challenges CRE leaders to rethink how they engage the business, prioritize work, and pivot to position real estate decisions as strategic enablers of growth, resilience, and outcomes that matter most to senior leadership. |
