Relogix and Dr. Graham Wills, (PhD, Statistics) a pioneer in the field of Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning, are joining forces to advance Artificial Intelligence in the field of Corporate Real Estate.

Relogix will be the first in the industry to more accurately forecast and predict companies’ real estate needs.

With the pandemic, it has become ever more difficult for companies to understand workplace demand for real estate, with everyone working from home and anywhere for the foreseeable future. As people return to the office, understanding the relationship between people and their demand for workspace is a significant challenge for workplace technology leaders in Corporate Real Estate, HR, and IT.

“We’re making a significant R&D investment to further innovation around forecasting and predictive analytics for Corporate Real Estate,” says Andrew Millar, Founder and CEO of Relogix. “We are excited to be working with Graham, a pre-eminent researcher in the AI field, and expect our collaboration to leverage advanced machine learning techniques to surface insights like never before.”

About Graham Wills, PhD:

Graham’s passion is analyzing data and designing capabilities that help others do the same with their data. His focus is on creating software systems that allow non-experts to draw conclusions safely and efficiently from predictive and machine learning models, and thus enhance the value of their data. Graham has authored over 60 publications, including a book in the Springer statistical series, and has chaired or presented at numerous international statistical and knowledge discovery conferences. His patents span visualization, spatial analysis, semantic knowledge, and associated AI domains. Graham believes that the goal of AI is to give professionals the assistance they need to make great decisions from their data, and that CRE is an ideal domain in which to introduce new AI and Machine Learning capabilities to revolutionize the marketplace.

About Andrew Millar, CEO:

Andrew’s mission is to turn data into valuable outcomes. With over 20 years as a corporate real estate solutions and insights provider, Relogix founder and CRE veteran, Andrew Millar, recognized the need for technology in the CRE industry. He founded Relogix out of a need to create solutions to help organizations evolve their workspace and get high quality data to drive strategic decision making.

DIALOG has once again been designated among “Canada’s Best Managed Companies” for 2021, according to Deloitte Canada. The annual list includes privately owned Canadian companies with at least $25 million in annual revenue.

DIALOG, with founding roots dating back to 1960, appears on the list this year as a “Gold Standard” winner, a nod to the firm’s third consecutive recognition by the annual program.

DIALOG operates from five studios in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, and San Francisco and currently employing an integrated team of nearly 600 architects, urban planners, engineers, interior designers, and landscape architects assembled to tackle the design challenges of today’s complex, built environment. This diversity is foundational to the company’s strength and has been a key to success for many years.

Led by a collection of more than 50 partners, DIALOG has maintained a clear commitment to foster innovation and practice at the leading edge of the industry, leading to resiliency and adaptability for the business.

“COVID certainly caused us to pause and adjust our approach to executing our company’s strategies. Moving from five studios to 600 ‘home studios’ required a fast and evolving plan, supported by our leadership team and a Core Response Team. These leaders focused on taking care of our people and our community, instilling confidence in our response to the pandemic, and on minimizing impact to our clients,” said DIALOG Managing Partner Jeff DiBattista. “But ultimately, the credit must go to our DIALOGers for leading the effort and helping us achieve 90% of our organizational capacity within 48 hours of being asked to work from home in March of 2020.”

By design, DIALOG has kept its organization flat through the years since its founding. Responsibility for advances in important areas like sustainability, innovation, and building portfolio ownership are led by grassroots teams that include individuals across all experience levels. These grassroots teams are nutured by management and they help instill ownership for critical aspects of design success across the practice.

“This recognition as one of Canada’s Best Managed Company differentiates us on many fronts, including in the critical pursuit of top talent. We hope that it sends a signal to prospective DIALOGers and clients that we are considerate in how we run our practice and how we treat our people,” said Jim Anderson, Partner and DIALOG Chair. “We are thrilled to be celebrating this honour, especially after such a unique year in the life of our operation.”

As DIALOG begins its phased efforts to return its team to collaboration in its five studios, the firm plans to apply the best lessons learned and technologies gained from the pandemic experience to better the sustainability and culture of the organization.

ABOUT DIALOG

DIALOG is a multi-disciplinary design practice incorporating architects, urban planners, interior designers, structural, mechanical and electrical engineers, and landscape architects. From four studios in Canada and one in the US, the firm designs urban vibrancy, health and wellness, transportation, education, arts and culture, residential, retail, commercial and mixed-use solutions. We believe design can and should meaningfully improve the wellbeing of our communities and the environment we all share. DIALOG has been designing positive change in communities since 1960.

ABOUT CANADA’S BEST MANAGED COMPANIES

Canada’s Best Managed Companies continues to be the mark of excellence for Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues over $25 million. Every year since the launch of the program in 1993, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies have competed for this designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates their management skills and practices. Program sponsors are Deloitte Private, CIBC, Canadian Business, Smith School of Business, and TMX Group

Castleman has also retired from the board.

Dr. Loscalzo has been on the Ionis board since February 2014, serving on the Nominating, Governance and Review and Science/Medical committees.

Dr. Loscalzo also serves on the board of directors of Leap Therapeutics, Inc.

Dr. Loscalzo assumes leadership of the board from Dr. Crooke. In December 2020, the company announced that after pioneering RNA-targeted therapeutics and leading the company for more than 30 years, Dr. Crooke would step down as executive chairman to focus on his scientific interests and the nonprofit organization he founded, the n-Lorem Foundation. Dr. Crooke will continue to serve as a scientific advisor to Ionis, including providing advice regarding Ionis’ research and development programs and guiding the core antisense research group he founded at Ionis.

Dr. Loscalzo commented, “I am deeply honored that the Ionis board has entrusted me with the responsibility of serving as its chairman.

“I’m delighted to join the Ionis board of directors and look forward to lending my expertise in product strategy and global commercialization to the company as it prepares to deliver 12-plus novel therapies to market by 2026,” said Ms. Diaz.

Mr. Castleman, president and chief executive officer of Syntiro Healthcare Services, Inc., served on the Ionis board since 2013 and was a member of the Audit committee. Since January 2008, Mr. Castleman has been a senior advisor of McNally Capital, LLC, a private equity and merchant banking firm focused on investments in private equity, both direct to companies and through private equity partnerships.

“These are exciting times for Ionis, and I can’t think of a person better qualified to assume the role of chairman of our board than Joe. His exceptional leadership and experience as one of the nation’s leading cardiologists have served the company well. As chairman, I believe Joe’s innovative and strategic thinking will be instrumental to our success as we execute an ambitious strategy to expand Ionis’ leadership in RNA-targeted therapeutics,” said Brett P. Monia, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Ionis. “I’m equally pleased that Allene has agreed to join our board. Her extensive background in the biopharmaceutical industry and accomplishments as a commercial leader and strategist will serve the company well as we execute on our plans for commercialization.  I also want to thank Breaux for his years of board service, particularly his valuable contributions as a member of the Audit committee.

 Working with Specialdocs, Dr. Amy Loden has launched a concierge medical practice in west St. Louis County, where a rising number of physicians and their patients are seeking the benefits of highly personalized, preventive care.

“We are gratified to welcome Dr. Loden and Family Nurse Practitioner Anna Burke to our national network of exceptional concierge medicine providers. The impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt in St. Louis and across the country, underscoring the irreplaceable value of long-term physician-patient relationships at the heart of our concierge medicine model,” says Terry Bauer, Specialdocs CEO.

“One of the pandemic’s most essential lessons is that our current system is not set up to provide preventive care for adults with chronic health issues,” says Dr. Loden. “However, we know we can effectively address, and even reverse, conditions such as obesity, hypertension or high glucose levels, with individually tailored care. It takes a deep understanding of each patient, time to educate and advise, and a fully committed relationship – the cornerstones of my new practice. These are almost impossible to achieve in a traditional setting, and inspired my change to concierge medicine, enabling me to provide thoughtful, proactive care for the whole patient.”

Keeping the practice small benefits patients with unhurried visits, extended hours, prompt attention, 24/7 direct communication with Dr. Loden or Anna, and a greatly enhanced focus on preventive medicine.

For patient J.R., 43, continuing to improve her health and eliminate medications was an important reason to join, but even more compelling is the way Dr. Loden and Anna have always responded to her, she says. “They listen, they take my concerns seriously and act on them quickly. There’s nothing more important, or harder to find.”

Chesterfield patient F.W., 41, describes the new concierge model as “a way to prioritize my health in a way I never have, with people I completely trust. I don’t come from a healthy family and I’m determined to change that with me.”

Dr. Loden guides her patients through complex medical situations and advocates personally for them if hospitalized. At Vitality, comprehensive, 60-minute annual evaluations with advanced biometric screening tests are offered, along with intensive monitoring for chronic diseases, allergy testing, immunotherapy, telemedicine, health coaching and supervised weight loss.

Vitality Medical and Wellness Consulting: 3009 N. Ballas Rd., on the Missouri Baptist Medical campus, St. Louis, (314) 806-0440. Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Dr. Loden graduated with honors from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, completed her internship at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, residency at Weill Cornell Medical Center in NY, and earned her MBA from Washington University in St. Louis. She is certified by the National Society of Health Coaches, the country’s first evidence-based coaching program.

Specialdocs Consultants has provided expert guidance to physicians across the country since 2002, helping them transform their practices and their lives with one of the most viable, sustainable concierge medicine models in the industry.

Immigration law firm Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP (BAL) is a finalist in three categories of the International Legal Innovation Awards by UK Law.com, announced Friday in London at a virtual awards ceremony. The firm was shortlisted for its technological innovation in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Knowledge Management and Marketing.

“We are proud of the curiosity and spirit that drive everything we do,” said Edward Rios, a BAL Partner and Head of Innovation & Strategy. “Being a finalist for three awards across very different departments is a testament to Berry Our forward-thinking culture.”

In the AI category, BAL is an award finalist for its Client Transition AI that helps accelerate and drive quality in data collection and migration as new clients bring their casework to BAL. The onboarding process combines immigration and industry knowledge with advanced technology to bring large data sets into the firm’s systems in a reliable format.

“Our technology platforms work hand in hand with our staff to provide real-time intelligence while our legal teams and support staff handle the most critical tasks for our clients,” said Vince DiMascio, CIO. “We use technology to increase speed, enhance quality, and ultimately give our people ‘superpowers’ through design, automation and practical AI.”

In the Knowledge Management category, BAL was recognized for combining its technological tools and immigration expertise to provide clients with the industry’s first multi-media immigration knowledge portal to house immigration breaking news analysis, FAQs, Immigration 101 basics, process maps, how-to videos, and much more. Dubbed “Advisor,” the portal provides corporate clients and their foreign-national employees access to up-to-date immigration information and knowledge on-demand, available 24/7, on their computers or mobile devices.

“BAL’s Advisor provides exemplary knowledge management for clients’ HR professionals and their employees,” said Katie Stone, Knowledge Management Director. “We also created Advisor+, which is a higher tier of content curated specifically for our clients’ HR mobility professionals to give them unique insights into the industry and their roles and obligations under immigration laws, regulations and best practices standards.”

BAL is also an award finalist for its Marketing Department’s innovative approach to providing original, timely immigration news.

“BAL’s goal was to create content marketing that is so valuable that it is not perceived as marketing, but as an indispensable service,” said Hennessey Knoop, Chief Marketing Officer.  “BAL not only publishes the most immigration stories, we also supply the most up-to-date coverage and thoughtful, easy-to-understand analysis.”

In the past year, BAL met the unique challenge of covering COVID-19’s impact on travel and immigration, as countries around the world canceled flights, closed borders and suspended visa issuance. Most immigration firms created stand-alone COVID-19 resources, but did not publish COVID-19 news on a daily basis. BAL did both. BAL worked with its alliance partner, Deloitte UK, to create a cutting-edge COVID-19 information resource—a comprehensive Digital Map showing the most current status of travel, quarantine and work-permit rules for nearly every country in the world. In 2020, BAL published 980 news alerts, including 242 U.S. alerts.
