Solving the Dysfunctional Property Asset Dilemma
• The non-profit organisation is more likely to regard their property portfolio as ‘static’ due to the legacy factors
• A common characteristic of an organisation with property assets accumulating over time is ‘growing into’ the current configuration
• Without a comprehensive Property Management Plan increased admin services can take over under-utilised areas within a building or ‘creep’ into rented or sub-leased offices by default

Solving the Dysfunctional Property Asset DilemmaThe long term net result for any organisation with a disparate property portfolio is either:• Operating in a fragmented and poorly coordinated
manner from multiple smaller locations; or• Consolidating into one larger legacy premises that
is poorly adapted for the current issue; or worse• Doing both of the above
Solving the Dysfunctional Property Asset DilemmaThe downsides for the organisation that finds itself in these circumstances include:
• Much higher than necessary property outgoings costs, i.e. rent, rates, electricity, gas, water, cleaning, waste removal, landscape and building maintenance
• Inefficiencies in staffing costs from duplication of roles in multiple offices
• Inefficiencies in staff time in managing multiple sites• Poor corporate communications and internal business process• Poor staff working conditions resulting in higher than
necessary staff turnover and inefficient working practises
Solving the Dysfunctional Property Asset Dilemma
Continued….• Higher IT costs due to complex network requirements or
poor IT services and capability• Difficulties in attracting and keeping volunteer staff due
to poor working conditions• Inefficiencies by being in less than ideal locations for
customers / clients and staff for the current service model
• Unnecessary expenditure on the adaption and maintenance of inappropriate premises and internal fit outs
• Regularly deferring maintenance
Solving the Dysfunctional Property Asset DilemmaThe types of issues that might arise for a CEO or Board that make them question their current portfolio composition:• Cost blowouts in property outgoings• Plant and equipment failures, roof leaks etc. from
deferred maintenance• Corporate response required to property
