CBRE’s appointment of Sandeep Davé as chief knowledge officer represents a strategic shift towards integrating corporate strategy, research, data, and technology functions. The company acts globally in diverse sectors, and this integration is vital to managing complex data assets and converting them into actionable insights. This comprehensive approach aims to create a competitive moat powered by AI and data-driven decision-making.
The company identifies three main drivers behind this reorganization: the scale and complexity of their global operations, the transformative power of AI dependent on quality data, and organizational maturity that supports advanced technologies. By applying AI and automation, CBRE improves research outputs and operational efficiencies, notably in facilities management through predictive analytics and the deployment of the Ellis AI platform used by over 65,000 employees.
This unification under one leadership role underscores that technology alone is insufficient without context, strategic alignment, and cultural readiness. The organizational restructuring serves as a model for AI-driven transformation, emphasizing the need for converged strategies and internal collaboration. CBRE’s approach challenges other firms to rethink governance, reporting lines, and incentives to fully leverage AI’s potential.
