Modern organisations are subject to continual change – technologies
evolve, organisational structures are modified, people and
underlying cultures are transformed. Yet the facilities that
organisations occupy are static and can impede the changes that are
essential to organisational survival. The response to change in
terms of property and support services is often too little too late
– leading to facilities that do not support organisational reality.
The facilities management team is thus constantly challenged to
bridge the gap between what an organisation has and what it needs.
Facilities Change Management is a practical evaluation of
the management of change for facilities managers and related
professions. It considers:
* the forces of change affecting facilities decisions
* the obstacles to change at a resource level and human
level
* the effective implementation of change
* the human aspect of change
Each of these is considered in relation to modern facilities
management issues. The discussion will enable practising
facilities managers, project managers, surveyors, service providers
and architects to understand, engage with and manage facilities
change effectively at a strategic level. Through real-life case
studies it demonstrates the complexities of change and hidden
elements of change that may undermine carefully planned
projects.
