Facilities, Forces and the Future: An interactive workshop on what is next in facility management

With the accelerating change of pace in business conditions, technological advancements and employee expectations, facilities struggle to keep up with the increasing demands put upon them. The role of the facility manager is evolving in response, and there are new tools, processes and products emerging daily to choose from. 

Join other IFMA members for an interactive workshop facilitated by Steelcase’s WorkSpace Futures research team to explore the changing landscape of facility management.  Starting with a trends overview, participants will be guided through a series of exercises to unpack the implications of these forces on their work, now and in the future.  Share your perspective as a facility manager or service/product provider.  What challenges are you facing and how are you seeking to solve them? What could the next generation of solutions look like? Bring your real-world experience and your imagination and leave with new insights into the future of facility management.
