The Survival of the Facility Professional (FP)
This session discusses how Facility Professionals align resources to maximize efficiencies. Risk increases cost and time. The FP has constant challenges of smaller budgets, increasing demands, new technologies, sustainability, LEED ratings, forced to consider outsourcing or being out sourced. The current professional is being put in a reactive, no-win situation. Can the FP with assistance from their local IFMA chapter be able to reverse the direction of this top-down, cost based trend which has no real solution? How can the FP and vendor have a win-win?
The new FP role creates a system in which the expert vendor has a performance matrix, pre-plans, risk mitigation, and acts in the best interest of the FP’s organization. Learn how to transform your team into a winning organization! It is by moving from a decision making model to an alignment model. Productivity is not increased by changing worker capability, but by the placement of resources (people, materials, technology, etc.), that maximizes the effectiveness of each component. This promotes high efficiency and performance.
The new FP role now measures all critical elements, creates accountability for all vendors and employees, and promotes high performance. Having this dominate reporting system allows the FP to know all critical moving parts of the organization. This model is based on over 20 years of research, 1600 tests/projects, $5.7 Billion budget, 98% success rating (client satisfaction).
Learning Objectives:
Strategies to minimize costs & risks
Use of performance measurements
How to bring value to your organization
30,000 ft. approach (leadership perspective)
