Thirty years ago Sir Michael Latham challenged the construction industry with the statement, 'We can't go on as we are.' Today the same question should be asked of commercial property. While businesses have embraced hybrid working, AI, ESG and digital transformation, many continue to make property decisions using assumptions developed decades ago. Long leases, fragmented workplace strategies and traditional procurement models are increasingly misaligned with modern business objectives. This thought-provoking seminar explores why commercial property should no longer be viewed simply as a lease or business overhead, but as a strategic business asset influencing organisational performance, employee experience, governance, resilience and business growth. Stephen Pippard and Julian Harrison will demonstrate how forward-thinking organisations are aligning property, workplace and facilities management with business strategy, challenging legacy thinking and improving commercial outcomes. Delegates will gain practical frameworks covering total occupancy cost, governance, compliance, occupier versus landlord priorities, workplace strategy, hybrid working, AI, ESG and the growing role of on-demand Property & Workplace leadership. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas to transform property from a cost centre into a competitive advantage.
