CoreNet Global New York City chapter hosts Strategy and Portfolio Planning event

The CoreNet Global New York City chapter (CoreNet NYC) hosted a Strategy and Portfolio Planning (SPP) Roundtable Event on Thursday, March 6 at Westin Times Square as part of the launch of its greater 2014 SPP program. This landmark roundtable event examined key issues faced by CoreNet members who manage real estate portfolios. Understanding that portfolio planning is complex, SPP facilitated focused discussions at five round tables, each dedicated to critical topics including talent attraction and retention; finance, taxes and incentives; sustainability and regulatory trends; and worker health and wellness. Groups explored the subjects by focusing on the key motivations and business scenarios behind each issue's importance, the goals within each subject area, the challenges associated with reaching these goals and the ways in which to measure success while in pursuit of these goals. Information from each table could be integrated in an overall portfolio analysis to discover synergies that may lead to a more holistic and creative approach to future planning decisions.
