Facility Executive February 2024 Issue (Volume 37, Number 1)
Editor’s Letter: Keeping The Future In Focus
Facility managers have continued to enhance their workspaces for employee and visitor well-being throughout 2023. In the cover story, Facility Executive showcases several projects that demonstrate facilities’ commitment to safety, customer experience, and more. Now, in 2024, facilities can continue to thrive by:
- Being Flexible – Artificial intelligence (AI) took the world by storm in 2023, and it shows no signs of stopping in 2024; this is one way we can expert to see building management change over the next few years. All facility executives have to adapt to new technology, new security threats, and unprecedented weather events. Staying agile will help facility managers prepare for these upcoming changes, while keeping their business on track.
- Cultivating Meaningful Partnerships – Facilities professionals work with HVAC technicians, IT managers, security personnel, outside contractors, and more. Now, beyond facility operations, it’s critical to establish lines of communication within your communities. In case of a natural disaster or other emergency situation, knowing the local fire or police chief can be incredibly important.
- Continuing Education – By reading this, you’re already taking steps to broaden your perspective on facility management topics. In addition to viewing Facility Executive’s magazine and website, FMs can learn about facility design, operation, and maintenance through the Facility Resilience podcast (available on Spotify, Podbean, etc.).
Now, when it comes to your facilities, no one knows them like you do. You have the chance to learn on the job every day what’s working, and what needs to be improved on. If you have any questions along the way, please let us know—we’re here to help.
