Workplace Consulting
In today’s business environment, the workplace is everywhere.
A solid workplace strategy focuses on the importance of recognizing both “place” and “space” as a solution to maximizing the potential of your people and achieving business goals.
Companies today need to adapt to the fluidity of the workplace experience and recognize the “workplace” is about more than amenities, concierge features, or open-plan desk layouts. It is about the “space” — the free movement of people, ideas, and social interaction, informed by the guidelines, tools, and technology developed with leadership, HR, and IT business partners. It is connected and vibrant when thoughtfully considered and can be an incredibly powerful tool for business performance and culture.
For high-performing organizations, workplace strategies must align with business plans. Understanding how your people interact with their physical and mobile work environments allows for development of the right spaces in an increasingly cross-functional and global reality. This holistic perspective positions real estate as an asset with measurable returns.
PPM’s people are proven leaders in aligning business strategy with real estate to ensure you are leveraging your assets strategically, attracting and retaining the right talent, improving productivity, and maximizing the potential of your people.

Our Process
Understanding the impact of workplace strategy on your business starts with what PPM refers to as the “three P’s”: People – Process – Place.
People: Your people are the heart of your business. With an understanding of your business objectives, PPM assesses how your workplace can enhance productivity, attract high-quality talent, and diversify a global workforce. We work with you to develop a cross-functional, robust location strategy that enables on-demand scalability and connectivity that accounts for how and where your people work best.
Process: PPM’s planning process aligns goals with workforce optimization. We focus on location and business strategy to accelerate growth across all functions, identifying cross-business synergies and geographic value opportunities in a coordinated approach that enables rapid business growth and purposeful long-term planning.
Place: Your workplace is more than a function of your business. It represents the environments that inform the experience of your business for your people and clients across multiple locations. Real estate portfolios are complex and effective workplaces must reflect culture, values, and brand consistently. When thoughtfully executed, the physical workplace fosters greater collaboration and productivity, while remaining sensitive to the strategic needs — and capital constraints — of your business.

the potential of your people and realize business goals.
