OUR 2017 ACHIEVEMENTS
We periodically set up workgroups of
a dozen of in-house people in order
to think on how to implement new
identified societal trends. These groups
feed their research through meetings
with visionaries in fields that might
influence tomorrow's real estate
(mobility, urban agriculture, smart cities
& buildings, the digital revolution, big
data, etc.). Taking into account new
construction techniques and new, more
sustainable technologies, they submit
various proposals in line with the needs
of clients-tenants in order to reduce the
portfolio’s rental vacancy, to extend the
office buildings’ life cycle and to facilitate
their operation. A first think-tank was
active at the end of 2014, early 2015. Four
of this group's ideas led to real projects.
A second group was set up at the end of
2016, early 2017. The first prototypes of the
selected ideas are under development.
However, innovation is not exclusive
to these special workgroups. It also
emanates from the company's various
departments. Tools are provided to all
employees. In 2016, in search of solutions,
a digital exchange site was implemented
to enable all employees to share their
ideas or present the challenges they face.
