From the supplier: Regional telephone company BellSouth introduced the 'Path to Win' program in 1994 to improve the management of its real estate. It was convinced that there are better alternatives to selling properties or leaving them vacant. A group of facility planners and real estate managers from various BellSouth locations was formed to examine the company's real estate investments. It was able to identify facilities that were underutilized due mainly to changes in workplace practices and technological innovations. The team also applied innovative strategies to consolidate BellSouth's holdings, consequently generating $19.8 million in potential savings in its North and South Carolina operations within two-and-a-half years. Furthermore, the firm was able to enhance its public image by donating properties to educational institutions.
