Office Space Challenges for 2009

My clients are asking me, "How is the market for office space?  Are rental rates going down?"  My answer to them is that the market is moving and rates are moving down but very slowly.   Companies are analyzing their office space.  They are trying to determine how they can reduce their office space costs.  My suggestion is to look at office space as a tool to achieve key corporate objectives. Office space can accomplish much more than just a reduction in expenses.  Corporate culture, innovation, and collaboration are all impacted by office space.  As an office leasing specialist, I am always looking for innovative tools and techniques to uncover productivity gains.  Bring in an expert.  Analyze your office space.  Overlay that onto your key corporate objectives.  Implement an innovative plan to get your office space working for you.  Please share with me office space analysis and productivity tools.
