Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments Segments
We organize our operations around, and publicly report our financial results on, three global business segments: (1) Advisory Services; (2) Global Workplace Solutions and (3) Real Estate Investments. As part of the realignment of our organizational structure and performance measure to how our chief operating decision maker (CODM) views the company, we created a “Corporate, other and elimination” segment.

Our Corporate segment primarily consists of corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain other central functions. We track our strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments in “other” which is considered an operating segment and reported together with Corporate as it does not meet the criteria for presentation as a separate reportable segment. These activities are not allocated to the other business segments. Corporate and other also includes eliminations related to inter-segment revenue.

Segment operating profit (SOP) is the measure reported to the CODM for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Segment operating profit represents earnings, inclusive of amount attributable to non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and asset impairments, as well as adjustments related to the following: certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, and a provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts. This metric excludes the impact of corporate overhead as these costs are now reported under Corporate and other. During fourth quarter of 2021, we changed the definition of SOP to include net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest to provide a more meaningful view of the segment’s performance and related margins and to conform to the CODM’s view of the business segments. Prior period segment operating profit for our reportable segments have been recast to conform to this change.
