Business cases and real estate strategy for Cordaan
Business cases and real estate strategy for Cordaan
Care for the elderly and the disabled is evolving at an astounding pace. The government’s inability to cover costs has combined with changing client needs to necessitate a new approach to this type of care.
The challenge
Cordaan, a major healthcare provider in Amsterdam, wanted to develop a future-proof approach for its real estate and organizational strategy. At the same time, it wanted to maintain a healthy financial balance. As a care provider, how do you go about reconfiguring your perspective on organization and real estate without sacrificing financial stability?
The approach
Rebel worked with multidisciplinary teams to draw up business cases for each location. Business cases that pinpointed the exact needs of Cordaan’s clients in the years ahead, the best way to help these clients, what Cordaan had to do to achieve this and what the financial impact would be. For each plan, Rebel also looked at the effect of the transformation not being implemented. This allowed Cordaan to oversee the consequences of its choices and take integral decisions. In order to weave the methodology throughout the fabric of the organization, we developed training courses for managers and financials from every division.
This enabled Cordaan to apply our business-case method across its investment spectrum. Alongside plans for the specific locations, Cordaan’s directors also wanted to ensure sufficient capacity to accommodate all clients while these large-scale transformations were ongoing. Moreover, the investments could not be allowed to impact on Cordaan’s financial health. By collaborating on a range of scenarios, the Cordaan/Rebel team clarified the various routes available to Cordaan and the results and risks it could expect to encounter.
