PE Board Accredited: 7 PDUs COURSE BACKGROUND Property occupation/space cost is invariably the second-highest recurrent cost after staff costs for most organisations and represent a significant component of service delivery costs. Most organisations do not have a Space Planning and Management framework despite it being an important and expensive resource. The lack of a structure to manage and monitor space use leads to varying degrees of efficiency, effectiveness and quality of space. It can also lead to departments adopting a‘free-for-all, territorial rights’ space attitude and a lack of accountability for use. Dynamic economic conditions and operating environments, technological advancements which free up where and how work is done and, the now acknowledged close link between work environment and productivity will drive continual work process re-engineering, workplace re-configuration and ‘churn/moves’ with the objective of ‘doing more with less’ to ensure organisational viability and sustainability.COURSE OBJECTIVES The course will provide knowledge on the impact of Space in Organisations and skills for effective Space Planning and Management through the following concepts and techniques:
