Strategy22
In an era increasingly dominated by digital advancements, the relevance of a physical ‘place’ remains paramount for most organisations, whether public, private or not-for-profit. ‘Place’ encompasses real estate, infrastructure and workplaces – integral components that demand thoughtful place-based investment choices and decisions.
‘Place’ is where work takes shape, products are crafted and innovation flourishes. It provides businesses with a physical presence and communities with a heart. It not only showcases brand identity, products and services, but also serves as a source of inspiration. Above all, it instils a sense of belonging.
However, the challenge lies in ensuring that place-based planning evolves in tandem with strategic intent and priorities. Misalignment can lead to suboptimal outcomes, such as selecting the wrong location, creating spaces that are too large or small, incurring unnecessary expenses, or designing facilities that do not meet their intended purpose. Strategy22 is dedicated to bridging this gap, aligning place-based planning with the most pertinent strategic drivers to ensure ongoing relevance and future-proofing.
In an environment where making sound decisions is crucial to minimising risk, reducing costs and seizing the opportunities that place-based change can bring, sector-specific experience, strategic acumen and commercial insight are paramount.
Welcome aboard Kate Horton! As a team, we look forward to elevating our commitment to excellence and innovation in place-based investment strategy.
