Real Estate Enterprise Strategy

Strategy is figuring out WHY the enterprise should exist and WHERE the enterprise should go. We believe that specifically attending to the Operating Model – while setting more traditional aspects of strategy (Capital, Assets and Leadership) is critical, as solid strategy without strong execution is ineffective.

Capital

Decisions about types of capital needed; sources; restrictions; durations; and expected returns.

Assets

Decisions about investment types; asset types, sizes and quantity; and geographies.

Leadership

Decisions about experience and capabilities of key individuals; track record as a team; and roles filled in the enterprise.

Platform

Decisions about work that will need to be done to operate the enterprise; information needed to run, measure and manage all work; tools required to support or automated the work; resources used to perform the work; and mechanisms to continue to improve operations once running.

Operating Model

The Operating Model depicts the key organizational, structural, procedural and behavioral elements and how they constructively interact to ensure that the business goals and objectives can be successfully executed.

Operating Model | Functional Model

The Functional Model describes the work that is done by and for the real estate enterprise. The premise is that the work of the enterprise – as well as the mechanisms to govern work quality, and to measure work effectiveness – can and should be described in ‘pure’ terms, independent of sourcing decisions or the enterprise ‘org chart’.

Operating Model | Sourcing Model

The Sourcing Model addresses the actual decisions – about sourcing and organizational structures – that must be made in response to the demands of the Functional Model.

Operating Model | Information Model

The Information Model provides a comprehensive structure for managing an organization’s information. Our assertion is information is an asset – and its management extends beyond technology. Without an established, formalized information management structure, real estate investors will continue to struggle with ‘poor data’.
