Sodexho workshop: ”Real Estate & Facilities Management: efficient cooperation models”

Issue formulation: In our opinion, the current situation in the commercial real estate market demonstrates that facility management companies are not always aware of the real needs of developers and owners of commercial real estate and the tasks they are faced with which are essential to a successful project implementation.     
The Real Estate community in its turn overestimates the risks of outsourcing in the process of project implementation. Opening subsidiaries for operating real estate projects reveals the developers' uncertainty in respect to further project operation, a superficial approach to this issue threatening an inevitable shortening of the project “life cycle” and loss of its attraction to tenants.  

Workshop goal: provide conditions for an open dialogue between both sides - developers, owners and investors as well as  FM companies; define the main goals for the parties' cooperation and outline the ways for efficient interaction; reveal possible ways to minimize risks when selecting a professional management company.

Speakers:
Konstantin Starobinskiy - IFM Business Development Manager. Banking and finance sectors 
Denis Vinogradov - IFM Business Development Manager. Real Estate

Issues to be discussed:
1. Evaluation of the current situation in commercial real estate market
2. Outsourcing in commercial real estate management: possible risks and ways to minimize them.
3. Integrated Facilities Management as a model of efficient interaction between developer, professional management company and tenants.
