For a multi-site portfolio, it makes sense to complete the workplace transformation strategy once then deploy it across multiple properties. This creates economies of scale, a homogeneous workplace environment and consistent ‘ways of working’ across the organisation. A consolidated plan negates the need for multiple change management plans. Work plans (real estate, IT, process, operations) can be recycled for each office creating further efficiencies and savings.

The workplace transformation strategy is created per normal and deployed to the pilot site, improvement feedback is collected and informs the creation of a ‘global workplace transformation strategy’ as the template for future transformations across the remaining properties.

During the pilot phase several ‘global’ documents and standards are created and stored within a universally accessible location (cloud). Examples may include: global design standards, future ways of working program, building safety and OHS standards, IT S.O.E and standard digital systems/tools. The Lean Workplace Company has identified over 50 pieces of global collateral that can be created once and deployed many times – thus creating significant economies of scale and leveraged value across the entire portfolio.
