While some real estate and infrastructure decisions are simple, others, such as developing the portfolio plan for the next two to five years or developing the occupancy strategy to support a merger or downsizing, require the evaluation of a complex set of factors and many different alternatives.  These factors can include corporate goals, business group requirements, labor cost differentials, real estate costs, facility sizes and conditions, IT and telecom infrastructure requirements, and more.  The problem of locating six business groups among ten facilities sounds simple enough, until one realizes that mathematically there are ten to the sixth, or one million, different ways to solve the problem. 

Critical Core has developed proprietary portfolio optimization software to help its clients quickly answer complex real estate and facility questions.  With Critical Core’s systems, organizations can plan for and respond to changing business conditions, ensuring that their employees have the resources and work environment they need to be most productive at the lowest costs.

With the Core Planning software suite, you and your organization can:

• Complete complex portfolio evaluations in seconds rather than the hours or days required with spreadsheets.

• Save millions of dollars in occupancy, infrastructure and reconfiguration costs.

• Diffuse emotional and political facility issues by providing accurate, quantitative information to evaluate subjective trade-offs.

In one test case, the client would potentially have saved $20 million and reduced required lay-offs by one-third if they had used Core Planning.

Core Planning provides the planning process discipline and rigorous portfolio analysis you need to manage your portfolio strategically and make the best portfolio decisions.
