Our experience tells us that the site process has two significant dimensions -
empirical and subjective. The empirical aspect involves the structuring of data
and information in a meaningful way that helps the organization locate and
prioritize opportunities quickly and proactively.
The subjective aspect is the organization’s "warehouse” of knowledge. It is held
by real estate directors, managers, and brokers. These resources can bring
invaluable insight into the decision-making process – with a practical visualization of the
opportunity to either encourage or bring it under more scrutiny.
To us, it's not necessarily about making more decisions, rather, better ones.
The organization needs BOTH dimensions to make realistic, practical decisions.
Our goal is to streamline the empirical aspects, create a mechanism to capture
more subjective information, and promote consistency in an easy-to-use
environment.
To this end, we have developed two platforms - web and desktop - to help guide
organizations through the decision process. Each deployment is unique to the
client - taking into account processes used to work through strategic and
analytical aspects of the opportunity.
