Real Estate & Asset Management

Interim Management in the Real Estate & Asset Management Sector

MANAGERIM provides you with interim managers who are experts in the real estate & asset management sector to help you meet your transformation challenges

The real estate sector is facing the challenge of a reinforced integration of environmental and energy issues.

It must also adapt to the transformation of society and adopt or promote new concepts (coworking, teleworking, shared housing, supportive living, etc.) driven by digital tools that are leading companies to change their strategy for occupying square meters.

Finally, the trend today is to reuse what has been built to transform it, or to rebuild it after demolition, rather than to extend the surface area built.

In this context and in the face of increased competition, the asset manager must meet the expectations of increasingly demanding occupants by offering personalized services and more precise services to:

• put the occupant at the heart of the processes by building an ecosystem of adapted services: Both individuals and businesses are placing increasing importance on their environment and on the completeness and relevance of services.
• lead the monitoring of services through better collection and exploitation of data and information in real time to monitor their proper execution and ensure their role as a relay between occupants and service providers/suppliers, adjust and correct these services according to their use and the customer satisfaction generated.

Our transition managers help companies in the sector to transform their organizations in order to :

• Expand /develop their client portfolio
• Innovate and offer new services to their clients
• Strengthen and personalize the customer relationship
• Stand out through the integration of new technologies
• Transform their organization to be more agile and flexible
• Accelerate the digital transformation of their tools, methods and processes
• Drive continuous performance improvement or process redesign to further optimize cost structure
• Increase the utilization rate of their resources
• Boost human resources management, training, and talent management and retention policies
