CORPORATE LEADERSHIP EMBRACES

TECH STRATEGY FOR THE 21 CENTURY
ST

WORKPLACE AND BEYOND

orporate Real Estate is in a state of transition. While this has always been true
to a certain extent, change today occurs more often—and at a greater pace. New
technologies abound, and it falls to industry leaders to show the way forward. The
days of a single technology meeting a particular need are just about over. True
C integration and IoT connectivity require these various technologies and systems
to communicate. People, teams and management must formulate coordinated strategies from
all areas of the enterprise to ensure that business objectives and organizational needs are met—
and exceeded.

Innovation wears many hats, whether it’s sensors in buildings, data-gathering lighting systems,
extreme automation and integration, the promise of 5G, robots in the workplace, or AI and machine
learning that enhance the capabilities of big data platforms. Innovation also comes in the form of
strategic partners that help fulfill the corporate vision.

RealcommEDGE discussed this dynamic business environment with our CoRE Tech 2019 Advisory
Council Co-Chairs Paul Maximuk of Ford Land and Emmanuel Daniel of Microsoft. These enterpris-
ing leaders are guiding their companies to the forefront of the newest smart building technologies
and user-centered design to create a brand-new style of workplace. They are REcalibrating old-
school thinking to meet technology head-on and embrace the possibilities of the holistic corporate
campus and greater community.
