Comment on What’s your social net worth? by Josh Riley

Social Media has tremendous implications for CRE professionals. The ability to stay connected to colleagues and network dynamically in the industry will transform how we find employees, vendors, and clients. Tools like LinkedIn should be integrated into every organization’s overall strategy plan, in my opinion. As the founder of the 25,000+ member CRE LinkedIn Group (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=35901), I’m reminded daily of the opportunities this medium provides for our industry. Though it will undoubtedly continue to evolve, the medium itself represents a significant paradigm shift.

Great thought provoking video on the joneslanglasalle YouTube channel for the CRE industry. FYI: The link to this blog is incorrect (missing the “.com”) but I found it none the less.

Coming from another industry where social media is commonplace, combined with living in the #1 city in the USA for the social media savvy, I have no doubt of the power it can provide. It’s simply a matter of being involved in the space and trying new things.

In a services business like Jones Lang LaSalle, I agree the entire CRE industry can connect by finding new business opportunities, establish new business relationships, build stronger relatedness through a common, more comfortable (for some) communication channel and keep current on a ‘real-time’ basis. It’s an entirely different, and more effective way to stay up to speed with information within markets you’re interested in. If you’re not using social media, you’re losing out on business and opportunity that’s at your finger tips.

Of course, the above is just my opinion and not that of my employer…As is my personal twitter account:

Comment on CRE and the Expanding Sphere of Influence by KT Lim

..indeed, growth will be the key despite the uncertainty lingering in Asia. CRE community will need to continue the path of cost effectiveness and bring more combined synergy to businesses !
Perhaps closer communication and active business alignment will ensure that CRE will be able to play a key role in the ‘eyes of business leaders’ !!
A good ‘problem’ to solved !!

It depends on what you want to do. You can do anything that you want to do. IT sounds good. You will have to take whatever courses that are required for the degree program that you want but just pass business and finance….you can choose a job that does not directly involve this.

Comment on Driving, Not Killing Creativity by Chee-Leong Lee

Great to hear about “creativity” in the FM industry. Excellent thoughts and comments from IFM leadership in this post.

Years back, i had the good fortune to attend a workshop by Centre for Creative Leadership (who does cutting edge research in creativity and leadership) – they were exploring the concept of creative leadership vs adaptive/innovation leadership than. What we found out (in an MNC like HP that sells IT services and products) at the workshop was:- on a straight line scale, managers who were involved in R&D tend towards creative leadership and managers who were involved in support functions like Procurement, GRE, Facilities tend towards Adaptive/innovative Leadership. Also, we found that Managers in functions like HR and some finance roles were mid point (neutral) on the scale. It makes me wonder what it would look like in a services company, like say FM. Can the FM industry have creative R&D or innovative breakthroughs in the “productization” (eg plug and play helpdesk module)or “servicelization” (eg unique JLL customer experience) of our industry? If there is, perhaps there will be more differentiation between all service providers. Perhaps it will slow down the commodization of FM servcies in the market and put less pressure on margins.

Hello Joe:

Many moons ago, I worked with you to develop a facility energy benchmark tool that allowed facility operators to compete each quarter. Does JLL still promote ongoing operating cost reductions with similar tools?

Hope all is well.

Hi Jordi,

After I read your msg, I wonder if your company consider taking up junior CRE executives with relevant education background and skills needed to succeed in the coming challenges?

I look forward hearing from you.
