Facilities Management: Securing the future for FM

 

We need to move on. That was the starting point for Workplace Futures 2013 - we need to take FM theory and practice to the next level. We need to stop thinking about service delivery in the old ‘tried & tested’ ways and start thinking in terms of true alignment with business objectives and real customer experience.

This is not a new argument – and we know that there are a few clients and service providers blazing trails towards genuine strategic partnerships for the future. But ‘tried & tested’ still dominates FM practice: costs, cuts and competition are too often the themes, too often pushing the discipline towards commoditisation and squeezing out the opportunities for adding real benefit and value.

Workplace Futures 2013 brought together some of the trail-blazers – both providers and their clients – to offer some of the best examples in the industry of ‘next generation’ thinking and practice. The context for learning was set by key industry figures and reports on timely, and highly relevant, research.
 
The insights, experience and guidance are captured in our latest White Paper.

Facilities Management: New needs. New solutions?

Under the theme 'new needs; new solutions?', the 2012 Workplace Futures conference was shaped around some of the central challenges facing UK FM as it begins to reach some maturity. 

A carefully selected expert panel of speakers shared their own experiences, views and insights on a range of topics around this theme in February. This White Paper captures that invaluable material.

Facilities Management: realising the value of the investment

Facilities management is a critical business discipline. It’s also a big, dynamic and often confusing marketplace. How do service managers and service buyers develop an understanding of what they need and then make sense of what’s on offer? How do service providers explain what they can do in ways that managers and buyers can relate to comfortably?

Inspired by the expert contributors to the Workplace Futures conference 2011 – and the invaluable discussions that followed – we have produced a unique industry White Paper, tackling just these issues.
