'Measuring the value of FM'. Join this webinar!
Thursday November 24th from 14:00 till 15:00 (CEST)

 
Practitioners, corporate members and of course all other EuroFM members are invited to join this EuroFM Webinar on Thursday November 24th from 14:00 till 15:00 (CEST). 

Dr. ir. D.J.M. (Theo) van der Voordt (The Faculty of Architecture and The Built Environment at Delft University of Technology) will present how to manage and measure the value of Facility Management (FM) and Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM). 

Costs are an important driver for many of us. Van der Voordt will show us there are actually 12 parameters to define the value. These parameters can be influenced in different ways and the performance can measured in different ways. For example the parameter “health & safety” could be improved by better indoor air quality, acoustics and light. By measuring sick leave, number of accidents or percentage of dissatisfied employees, you gain insight in how well you perform on “health & safety”. To be able to compare your performance with other organizations, a standard method is required. The model Van der Voordt proposes could be a way to standardize measuring the value of FM.

During the presentation there will be enough time for questions and discussions. The webinar will be recorded and made available on the EuroFM website. 

Sign up now for this webinar!  You will be send you an invite for GoToMeeting at least one week before the webinar. For more information, please contact team@office-eurofm.org 



Added value of FM –
A critical review
Research Report by Per Anker Jensen and Theo van der Voordt 

The main purpose of this report is to provide a state of the art of research and practice in relation to the Added Value of FM. The report is for the writers a step on the way in creating an overview of the current development of knowledge concerning the Added Value of FM. One of the main concerns has been to evaluate, whether there is a cumulative knowledge building in this field. Concluded is that this is only to a limited degree the case. Therefore, there still is a strong need to develop more knowledge on the topic and in particular to develop a simple standardised model as well as methods and tools to measure and manage the added value of FM that can more easily be applied in practice.
