Singapore, 15 May 2013 – Tapping into the increasingly sophisticated Singaporean corporate real estate and workplace market Geyer, a leading work place and corporate interior specialist, has put forward their expert consultant Marc Shamma’a to deliver key learning points on how to realise the financial and organisational benefits of an agile working strategy at the Asia Office Space Congress 30th May 2013.
The benefits of an agile working strategy that allows flexibility with regards where and how ‘office’ work is performed is a key theme of the Congress along with other popular methods currently being deployed in Singapore that align with large organisations economic and business goals. To that end one of the key learning points, that Shamma’a has observed over his 20 years experience in the field, relates to how organisations may capture both financial incentives while optimising organisation and people outcomes.
Shamma’a explains: “Transitioning to agile working must be handled with care and sensitivity. It is as much about the way people use their space as it is about the actual design of the environment. Your people need to be brought on this journey as active participants in order to secure their buy-in and acceptance to new ways of working, or else there is the risk that they will see this as yet another cost-cutting measure that affects them personally.”
Taking this into account he will further discuss how to balance workplace efficiency, effectiveness and experience within the agile workplace.
Shamma’a continues: “ This means engaging with stakeholders at all levels, giving them the chance to make a contribution and take ownership of the outcomes. It also means working in close partnership with HR, IT and CRE, who are essential players in a process that enables you to deliver measurable bottom line benefits.”
These benefits are why many companies have signed up for the agile working environment and in order to reach it, explains Shamma’a, intelligent design acts as the third performance enabler.
Well qualified to deliver this topic, Shamma’a has advised MNCs as diverse as Nokia Siemens Networks, HSBC, Microsoft, Shell, Celcom Axiata, British Telecom as well a public sector clients, such as the Economic Development Board and Ministry of National Development of Singapore; he has also presented to the “Future of Work” working group of the Singapore Government. He has delivered projects in Singapore, India, Malaysia, Brunei, Hong Kong and China as well as having worked extensively in Europe in management consulting roles for the likes of PriceWaterhouse Coopers and IBM.

A global favourite on the speaker circuit Erik Jaspers, CTO, Planon will explain to delegates how to best leverage technology in when transitioning to an agile workforce when he delivers a presentation at the region’s leading event on corporate real estate and the workplace Asia Office Space Congress Singapore 30 May 2013.
Moving to an agile working environment – where some or all staff are enabled to work from any where, are not assigned to specific desks and are frequently not required to ‘check in’ to any office at particular hours but are judged instead by performance – is a popular choice amongst multinationals in today’s cost conscious and volatile environment. Potentially cutting real estate costs in half, while allowing flexibility for growth or contraction, appears extremely attractive as a real estate option.
