Industry Consolidation - An Era Of Uncertainty
Transcript of speech presented at the PM Springfest 2003, Toronto Convention Center by Forbes Rutherford, President of Rutherford International ESG, a real estate executive search firm.
Focus:
Commercial Real Estate 
Many real estate organizations and building owners are frustrated in today’s marketplace with respect to the difficulty in finding service orientated and experienced property managers, building operators and superintendents.  And if they find them, their next challenge is how to retain them.

This presentation examined some of the key trends affecting building management staff and professionals including:
1. Revaluation of the property manager through job enrichment;
2. Motivate by making your values mean something;  
3. Compensating Performance by offering clarity, simplicity and execution;
4. Retaining talent (determinant factors for staying or leaving.);
5. Recruiting talent (when and how, secrets of a corporate headhunter);
6. Implications of the future labor market (more than the building’s life cycle should be extended);
7. Effect of mergers on staffing (an age of uncertainty);
8. Warehousing knowledge that’s transient (managing the knowledge gap between senior and junior employees);
9. Career Management (finding one’s niche in an oligarchic industry);
