Operational Excellence and Management

When it comes to future-oriented topics such as mixed use, formerly separate asset classes with very divergent ways of working are becoming increasingly blurred. As exemplified by the corporate policy of mixed-use specialist Art Invest, defined goals, a new management approach, clearly regulated internal communication, and a great deal of mutual trust are required.

THE ART OF WINNING

As the results came in from 25 independent Solal judges across Europe, the person co-ordinating the results was Alan Thornton, CEO of AL Marketing in London and Head of the European Solal Marketing Awards team. He shares his view on the winning entries and considers what Rodovre Centrum, the winner of eight awards, does right when it comes to outstanding marketing effort.
