The challenge: underutilized office space and a fear of change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GE Healthcare<\/a> is a $19 billion business that specializes in medical imaging, biomanufacturing, and cell and gene therapy technologies. The company has more than 50,000 employees around the world. But a combination of long-term leases and strategy changes resulted in real estate problems. In Seoul, GE Healthcare Korea had an abundance of underutilized office space, resulting in wasted spend and escalating inefficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team saw an opportunity to optimize their portfolio. They sought a strategic partner who could save them a significant amount of money while reinvigorating their employees. \u201cWhen I think about workspace, the people we have, and how we want to enable them, the key word for me is \u2018empowerment,\u2019\u201d says Francis Van Parys, president and CEO of GE Healthcare Korea. He wanted to instill a culture of flexibility and collaboration among his employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
