Join the IFMA FMCC in our celebration of World FM Day 2018.

From Tuesday evening (CDT) May 15 to Thursday early morning, May 17, the FM Consulting Council (FMCC) of IFMA will air 9 presentations and discussions of 30 to 45 minutes each, going once around the world. You will hear and be able to visit live with FM leaders in a variety of places and situations where FM technologies, of necessity and opportunity, serve to sustain organizations with stakes in the built environment.

For a program list and registration for each session, see below.

The links below are 2 audio productions, one of 2 minutes and one of 15 minutes, that give the flavor of the sessions. Mike Petrusky, who produced the FM Innovator series, now the Workplace Innovator, conducted preliminary interviews with speakers from three of the nine sessions and mixed their conversations around the fast developing territory of FM technology and sustaining the built environment of organizations and enterprises in that milieu.

The guidelines of management standards EN 15 221 and ISO 41001 answer why FM is a strategically important discipline in the management, operation and maintenance of the workplace and its assets, strongly influencing operational efficiencies and sustaining the workplace, and the business itself.
How does current FM technology enter into this picture to sustain our facilities and the organizations? How does FM technology offer strategic opportunities as well as tactical benefits?

Bold Questions About FM
presented by Meredith Thatcher and Ryan Peni

Moderator: David Reynolds

5:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Fellow FMs, are your messages clear to the people who hold the purse strings? Why spend money on an asset? Those are impressive data and explanations; so what? What have you done today, simply put? This project, move, acquisition, sale, process, result sought, change… what value does it bring toward what organization goal/purpose and how do we best work to that? Do we need to do this – whatever? We know our costs; do we know just as accurately our value, to what occupants and what business goals/purposes?
FM consultants Meredith Thatcher and Ryan Peni wrangle business situations where right FM makes a difference. They have the planet surrounded. Meredith works from Ottawa in eastern Canada, Ryan from the west coast of New Zealand. Find both on Linkedin, and in a variety of IFMA roles.

Is there a limit to how many, how large, how varied, how dynamic… properties and priorities can be for FM to be effective? No, in a word. But if we’re going to wrestle a dragon and not get scorched, we need approaches and methods that can answer to the goals and strategies of the organization or business reliably, without killing us. Raise your swords and join Graham Tier and Jessica Bickel in some powerful FM.
