STRATEGIC PLANNING - GATHER, verify and STRUCTURE MASTER DATA
CLIENT
Deutsche Bank AG is a German multinational investment bank and financial services company headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. The bank is operational in 58 countries and has a significant presence in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
PROBLEM
Deutsche Bank's corporate real estate department in London recorded data in multiple Excel spreadsheets; no centralised system existed. Property managers struggled daily with a need for more data and always had to search and cross-check. Deutsche Bank's corporate real estate department had an online database tool, but no one ever did the job of data entry and management. I saw the need for master data centralisation and accessibility to all property managers.
SOLUTION
I took ownership of the sloppy situation, requested system training, identified gaps and looked into solutions. It took complete data management - collection, verification, entry and updates. I shared my knowledge and skills with the strategic real estate team and the lease administrators for some of the most prestigious properties in the City of London.
RESULT
The strategic corporate real estate department had the first online database with centralised master data about the bank's buildings portfolio. The online resource provided easy access to quality data for everyone in the team and leadership. Reporting features enabled smooth decision-making and improved client service for all 30+ buildings in the portfolio.
