Frequently Asked Questions
What is workplace program management?
Workplace program management is the strategic oversight of complex facility and workplace initiatives, often spanning multiple projects, teams, and locations. It includes planning, coordination, budgeting, risk management, and stakeholder alignment to keep transitions on track and aligned with business goals.
When is program management the right fit for our organization?
Program management is ideal when you’re managing long-term, large-scale, multi-phase, or multi-site transitions; working with multiple vendors; or need strategic consistency across related workplace projects. Early engagement helps ensure better integration with your business priorities.
What’s the difference between project management and program management?
Project management focuses on individual moves or events. Program management provides centralized leadership across an entire portfolio of real estate initiatives that are driven by corporate strategy, which could include site standardization, asset management, construction management, furniture standardization, and project management, helping align them with broader organizational goals, efficiencies, timelines, and resource planning.
Does Hilldrup provide program oversight across departments and vendors?
Yes. We assist with coordination and management across internal teams, business units, and third-party vendors, providing governance, communication planning, and performance tracking. We serve as a single point of accountability to keep your workplace program aligned, efficient, and on schedule.
Can you support ongoing workplace initiatives, not just relocations?
Absolutely. We manage domestic and global programs that include reconfigurations, furniture and asset planning, renovations, technology upgrades, and workplace experience improvements, not just one-time relocations.
