Remit20: Pioneering change in real estate through collaboration and innovation
WHAT: Encouraging cooperative dialogues and advancing industry networks.
WHY: Providing a confidential, "safe space" where ideas, questions, and answers that help shape the world of property and asset management can be discussed and debated.
WHEN: 2012 – present day
The property industry, contrary to popular belief, is in a constant state of evolution. Behind the buildings themselves, you’ll find a mixture of strategy and innovation that have come to redefine the industry.
This dynamic landscape underscores the significance of Remit Consulting’s industry forums - the private and confidential gatherings, which we have been organising since 2012, where leaders of the real estate community can come together to deliberate on emerging trends and challenges.
““Remit has facilitated many helpful discussions on relevant topics amongst our asset management peer group in London. The willingness of participants to share their thoughts and experiences has meant we can all informally benchmark ourselves on some of the key issues we all face””
During the tumultuous times of the pandemic, when traditional networking avenues receded, our Property Asset Managers’ forum came to the forefront. More than a gathering, it became a critical nexus for professionals from diverse firms at a time of market crisis and bridged the physical divide, ensuring continuity in discussions, collaborations, and industry insights.
Recent topics that have emerged at these meetings include the following:
Border control between property and asset managers: How has the shifting frontier between the two roles become more and more difficult to pinpoint? What does a good property manager actually look like?
Value for Money: What are asset managers buying? What do we now expect from KPIs and reporting? Where do property managers pitch themselves, and how do they add value?
Brilliant Basics vs Above and Beyond: How can the industry future-proof properties? How should teams be supported in changing environments?
Reflecting on the last two decades since Remit Consulting was established, real estate has witnessed paradigm shifts, particularly from the vantage of asset managers. 'Technology' and 'Sustainability' transitioned from being mere buzzwords to core industry pillars.
At the heart of these transformations, our forums have played a pivotal role, in fostering collaborative discussions and promoting innovative networking. They have carved a unique place in the market allowing a private, “safe place” where ideas, questions and answers can be discussed that shape the property and asset management world. Their structured yet open format champions expert-driven dialogues and knowledge sharing, and we anticipate our forums to further amplify their influence in the coming years.
