CBRE Scores 2014 Digie Award

LOS ANGELES—CBRE has won a 2014 Digie Award for Best Automation after innovating and implementing the Workplace360 model at its global headquarters office in Downtown Los Angeles. CBRE developed the open-office concept, called Workplace360, last year and put it into effect in September. The high-tech design features mobile workspaces with multiple computer screens, ample meeting rooms, a paper-free environment and Google’s Liquid Galaxy technology, all in a professional setting conducive to CBRE’s culture and business. Now, nearly a year since implementing the program and with a Digie Award in hand, CBRE’s Los Angeles and Orange County president Lew Horne sat down with GlobeSt.com to talk about the concept, how it is working and what other innovations the company has planned.
