In my Webinar on Information Based Decisions (see the link below), I spoke about getting and using information for your benefit.
While you need an FM system and should work towards getting approval and implementing one, if you already have one, the question is whether you use it for information, not just process management. Whether you manage space with a CAFM system manage maintenance with a CMMS system or handle other typical Facilities Management responsibilities, information is king and visibility into your operations are critical to your success.
This time, as an expansion of what I talked about in the Webinar, I’d like to focus on the two challenges to getting and using information.
Recently I had the pleasure of delivering my first webinar for Facility Managers.
Magazines are a great way to learn and to keep up-to-date with what’s happening in the Facility industry. Even if you can’t read every article, you are likely to find something you can use, and if you pass your magazine around your office, everyone will benefit.
I’m constantly surprised when I talk to FM professionals who haven’t implemented an FM system to manage their responsibilities, whether it’s CMMS, CAFM, IWMS or other systems for managing processes, space or maintenance.
