Program Overview
Trading Places: Lessons from Both Sides of the Table
What changes when you move to the other side of the table? And how does past experience shape how you approach your current role?
This session brings together professionals who have transitioned between corporate real estate, service provider roles, and CREA leadership to explore how those experiences influence perspective and decision-making. Drawing on firsthand insights, panelists will share how changing roles impacts how they evaluate risk, define value, and communicate priorities.
The discussion will focus on practical takeaways to help corporate occupiers and service providers better understand expectations, anticipate challenges, and work more effectively together. By examining where misalignment commonly occurs and how to address it, this session will offer actionable insights to strengthen partnerships and improve outcomes across the real estate lifecycle.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how cross-functional experience drives stronger alignment, more informed decision-making, and better overall results.
