Summary Description:
As an industry, we have historically underinvested in our infrastructure. It is a well-known fact, first recognized by the American Society of Healthcare Engineers (ASHE) in a report published
back in 2017. Now in 2023, the lagging financial challenges imposed by the pandemic will likely continue to exacerbate this situation for years to come; especially when considered
along with other macro-economic trends affecting the national and global economies. Simply put, there is a false narrative that money spent on infrastructure has no return. We all
know that’s not true. In this session, we will discuss the “business” of facility management and introduce a new financial framework to guide you as you construct and sell future budget
requests. Managing a facility is different than maintaining a facility.
Quoting Warren Buffet, “Price is what you pay, VALUE is what you get.” Does your non-facility leadership understand the VALUE of what you do? Let’s change the way we tell our story!
Learning Outcomes:
1. Understand the difference between a cost-center and a profit-center and challenge ourselves to redefine the “Business” of facility management.
2. Introduce the basic concepts of income statements and balance sheets to create a framework for communicating facility investment needs.
3. Conduct “Sales” Training 101. Use the Features, Advantages, Benefits framework to articulate the VALUE streams of infrastructure investment to non-facility leadership.
4. Identify common objections that are often used to justify budget limitations and discuss alternative means of “Selling” the ROI of infrastructure investment.
