From wow to how: Getting real about design and fit-out costs

May 12, 2026 | 12:00 PM ET/17:00 BST

The workplace design dilemma: create spaces that wow talent and drive performance, but do it with shrinking budgets and zero room for error. Sound familiar?

You're not alone. Today's real estate leaders must balance design ambition with practical, cost-controlled delivery and cutting features or chasing trends simply doesn’t work in today’s market.

Here's what's changed: the most successful workplace leads have stopped guessing and started using data, frameworks and proven strategies to turn bold visions into budget-smart realities. They're not just managing project costs — they're spending strategically.

Join us as we explore exactly what it takes to move from aspirational concepts to actionable, future-proofed, cost-effective solutions.

This is your session if you're:

 

  • Head of Real Estate tired of choosing between cost targets and transformation goals and ready for strategies that deliver both
  • Finance/C-Suite Leader demanding proof that workplace investments generate measurable business value
  • Workplace Strategist ready to bridge the gap between social media-worthy designs and project realities
  • Portfolio Manager juggling competing priorities and outcomes across multiple projects and markets
