• Aligning WPR with Cisco’s Business Models and Corporate Strategies.
• Defining Governance and Decision Framework :
Workplace Resources (WPR) will govern global real estate portfolio planning through a Global Site Strategy framework, coordinating with the Business Functions to classify all sites using “Core”, “Non-Core Critical” (NCC) and “Non-Core Non-Critical” (NCNC) designations.
• Providing Guiding Principles, Decision Guidelines and Priorities
• Supporting Global Strategic Initiatives and defining long-range Site Strategies
“An important part of our strategy is to develop our people and evolve our organization so that we can deliver a simple, scalable and agile foundation that will enable us to support current and innovative business models. To accelerate our ability to deliver strong business outcome in FY14.” Olivier Kohler, SVP Global Business Services
Policy: WPR governs global real-estate portfolio planning through a Global Site Strategy (GSS) framework, and coordinates with the Business Functions to classify all sites using “Core”, “Non-Core Critical” (NCC) and “Non-Core Non-Critical” (NCNC) designations.
Representative Supporting Principles and Policies1. Business Functions shall provide a 12-month site exit plan for employees and activities in
sites not classified as Core or Non-Core Critical.
2. All new investment in facilities must adhere to WPR published standards for Cisco Connected Workplace, inclusive of Space Policy. Labs and Data Centers must follow current WPR specifications, with endorsement of the appropriate governing body.
3. All new and existing facility investments and commitments shall comply with GSS Portfolio Guidelines.
4. Acquisitions: All new sites acquired through Acquisitions are provisionally classified as NCC (to be reviewed for reclassification in 12 months from Announce Date).
5. New Sites: Any proposed new site shall be approved if and only if it is explicitly required as Core or NCC by the Function’s Business Plan, has approved funding, and is in accordance with all other GSS policies.
Cisco Vision & Strategy translated into a Physical (RE) Blueprint resulting in the GSS framework.GSS is WPR’s execution plan that supports Cisco’s vision of having an integrated operating model that supports the company’s priorities.

Market opportunities may differ from this guidance: variances should be detailed in ePAF
There is always a possibility for new and non-public information to change a site classification: delivery teams should seek current CRM guidance for each site
