Editorial
Reflecting on the past few quarters, I am astounded at how much has been
accomplished and am energized by our vision to transform this industry. Our
new company has the best talent, with more diversity of experience, thoughts
and backgrounds, than anyone in our industry. Our client value proposition
consists of unique and innovative thinking and when we combine this with a
broad geographic reach, coupled with the depth of the services we provide,
Cushman & Wakefield is a powerful force. I’m proud and humbled to say that
we’re already exceeding client expectations in a distinctive way.
“Client-centric” is our true north, and to support exceptional client service,
we’ve developed a model ensuring we can deliver our services in a seamless
way. We enable the service delivery with a centralized approach supported by
technology. This approach enables not only more cost-effective service delivery
but also a higher quality experience. This approach allows us to mobilize new
mandates more effectively, while developing talent more quickly. This equates
to a higher quality cost-effective solution.
It’s an exciting time to be involved with Cushman & Wakefield. And, we’re just
getting started.
In 2016 and beyond, expect to be “wowed” by our innovation and − as
importantly − our ability to deliver that innovation in a globally consistent way.
In this issue of Occupier Edge, you’ll read topics that are trending across the
globe. Active design in the workplace, the rapid growth of the sharing economy,
how the evolution of technology will change healthcare delivery. Additional
articles focus on the growing danger posed by computer hackers and the ways
in which back offices are merging with front offices.
We brought you these topics because they concern major issues affecting our
industry, and in highlighting the changes, we share how you can best strategize
and prepare for what is to come. Every article in this edition is interesting,
educational and positions a future forward point of view. We welcome your
input on the content, as well as suggestions for future topics you might like to
see addressed in our next edition.
We also welcome the opportunity to work with you on strategic solutions to
help make your business more efficient and profitable.
Please enjoy reading Cushman & Wakefield’s Spring 2016 Edition of The Occupier
