Financial issues are a crucial aspect of corporate real estate strategy, not just for the financial gurus, but for anyone in a senior leadership position or who aspires to be. Surprisingly, organizations continue to have sharply differing views on what the right “language” is – NPV, cash, accounting, a blend of these, others?
