A career-long disruptor of the status quo in Corporate Real Estate and Facilities Management (CRE/FM), Vik is known for taking the industry’s conventional wisdom to task in his books, articles, and speaking engagements.
His criticism of the traditional CRE/FM outsourcing process is usually delivered with humor, but his underlying message is on point: “Far too many Corporate Real Estate and Facilities Management leaders enter into 5-year (or longer) relationships with service providers without knowing their partner. If you wouldn’t make a commitment like in your personal life, why on earth do it in business?”
Vik started Verum Consulting and Verum’s OutsourceUSA Network in 2008. The OutsourceUSA Network (http://www.OutsourceUSA.com) offers Verum’s clients highly specialized workplace strategy and proptech services via partnerships with 12 independent firms.
Vik’s book, Quaere Verum (Seek the Truth), is a collection of CRE/FM articles and random observations of life. The book is available for FREE. Simply click on the book image or the following link to view or save a .pdf version: Quaere Verum
