The Challenge
Nokia Siemens Network is a recently formed joint venture of Nokia and Siemens companies. To
accelerate the integration and rebranding process, NSN wanted to redesign its industrial and
office footprint in Milan, Italy to drive down occupancy costs, unlock value and enhance
business synergies across its Milan platform.
Our Impact
Business Assessment
C&W interviewed senior head office and local management to gain a full understanding of
key local, national and supranational drivers, objectives, constraints, dependencies and risks
of migrating to a new streamlined office and industrial platform.
Multi–Occupancy Scenario Analysis
C&W modeled current and future state occupancy scenarios, paying heed to future
vacillating headcount projection scenarios, one-time and recurring capital and operational
expenditures.
Occupancy Scenario Trade Off Analysis
Each scenario was systematically screened against critical business objectives including
shareholder value, operational imperatives, real estate requirements, deliverability,
implementation timeframes and supported by detailed qualitative and quantitative inputs.
The approach taken allowed senior NSN management to readily grasp the cost benefit analysis
of each headline scenario and presented them with critical path to implementation.
The Outcome
- Optimal scenario chosen produced a 42% space reduction
- Total occupancy cost savings of € 45M
- Cash generated in year 1 post-optimization of € 8M
- Integrated, focused workforce housed in modern, flexible premises
