The capabilities that shape most roles here, and how to get ready for each.

Tenant and operator needs
A logistics facility, data centre and retail property serve very different occupiers.
How to prepare: Describe how you would identify an occupier's practical requirements and balance them with the property's long-term value.

How to prepare: Practise explaining an acquisition, improvement or disposal in terms of risk, cash flow and investment objectives.
