StrategicManagement
Strategic management is simply future planning and management in varying guises.
It doesn't have to be complicated, provided you have accurate data and a set of
clear business plans.
By having critical information about your estate and assets along with a forecast
of likely future requirements you are best positioned and more likely to make the
right decisions. Moreover with a suitable delivery system all key personnel can
have access to this information supporting a team effort.
By introducing a strategic element to your estates and facilities you will gain
an improved knowledge of your current situation. This creates a cycle of ever increasing
information between existing and future projections. Working practices and innovations
can then be established leading to considerable savings in your operation.

Benefits
Be prepared to react to change at short notice, be investment ready and have
a definitive knowledge of all your space and assets and how they fit in with your
future business plans.
In brief with careful strategic management you can;
- Avoid costly assumptions
- Identify contingency space
- Produce disaster recovery plans
- Raise capital and funding
- Provide business continuity
- Reduce costs per workstation
- Improve department associations
- Achieve resource and asset sharing
- Sustain growth and right-size
- Reduce maintenance costs
- Identify hot-desking possibilities
The above points identify areas where possible savings can be made using strategic
management. And although strategic management is essentially thought of as an overview
of all these points and more, it can be broken down into individual components.
For example, studies show massive under utilisation of conference and meeting rooms.
Many companies don’t even analyse the usage of these areas and assume that they
are utilised close to 100%. In reality this is far from the case and although they
are booked for close to 100% of the time, due to changing circumstances they are
frequently left empty or partially occupied. Good strategic planning will identify
and resolve these issues.
