It was also a year of many changes at AkzoNobel, all of which were designed to make the company an even better place than it already is. The beginning of the year was very much dominated by unfavorable conditions with regard to currencies, while markets did seem to recover to a certain extent. That changed in the second half of the year when Europe again experienced a lack of growth and the recovery that everyone had hoped for didn’t materialize. At the same time, we saw some of the Asian economies and Latin America slow down.

    Hotel Investment Outlook 2020 2019 in review Global hotel transaction volumes in 2019 reached US$66 billion, bolstered by a resilient global economy, strong employment markets and demand from domestic and international travelers. However, the length of the current market cycle, global trade tensions and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Brexit gave investors cause to feel more cautious last year, which led to a six percent decrease in total hotel market liquidity compared with 2018. Factors that will influence investor behavior in 2020 • Stagnant economic growth: global GDP is expected to remain at 2.5 percent • Political fatigue: unrest in major parts of the world is making investors cautious • Global trade tensions: tariff uncertainty between major trading blocs and countries is unnerving investors • The epidemic risk of the coronavirus will impact travel volumes and, in turn, investor appetite 2 | Hotel Investment Outlook 2020 2020: optimistically cautious International, political and economic dynamics are unlikely to shift Transaction activity will be driven by significantly in 2020 and the global economy and real estate markets can • A record level of dry powder being raised expect slower growth as a result. The deal pipeline in 2020 is strong across and pressure to deploy capital in a low-yield all regions but the amount of capital available is unlikely to match the environment amount of stock and, consequently, pricing will remain tight this year. • New hotel buyers emerging in search of Global hotel liquidity is expected to decrease by approximately 10-15 attractive yield percent as investors adopt an optimistically cautious approach.

Through the application of multiple tools and techniques within the Project Management (IPECC, PDCA), Lean, and Six Sigma methodologies within its ‘End-to-End Outdoor Made-to-Order’ (Outdoor MTO) project initiative, Philips Lighting achieved the following advances over 18 months: Consistent delivery reliability exceeding 96% (up from 75%) Committed 4-week customer lead-times increased from 1% to 42% of Outdoor portfolio Agent NPS scores improved from -56 to +4 Improvements replicated across over 50% of the Outdoor North America portfolio, impacting a projected $125m+ of annual revenue coverage Strategic Objectives and Scope Starting in 2013, Philips Lighting experienced a decline in market share year-over-year with a cumulative 15% revenue decline in the North America Outdoor Professional Channel, amidst an 11% growth trend in the market at large.

With executive sponsorship aligned, a Project Management Office (“PMO”) was formed.
