Working Knowledge was invited to create a bespoke programme for the property division that would address the planning of a number of internally focused projects using cross-discipline teams.
Using scenarios around carbon reduction, data management, better use of facilities and whole area management the delegates were assisted through the creation of effective and sustainable strategies that they could take back to work the next day and use as templates for activity.
