Everywhere you look, facility and asset management professionals are on a journey of growth — upskilling to stay ahead of evolving technological trends, learn about new building performance and sustainability standards, and foster a sense of community with their peers. In this session, we advocate for a holistic approach to building operations that integrates sustainability, technological innovation, and human-centered design to create efficient, productive, and environmentally friendly workspaces. Themes include enhancing sustainability and well-being in the built environment, driving operational efficiency through collaboration, and the role and significance of emerging technologies like BIM, digital twins, integrated worktech, and AI for real-time performance analysis and decision-making. Future success depends on future adaptability within the dynamic field of facilities and asset management. Navigating the changing environment will require innovation, professional development, emotional intelligence, and a focus on the human experience in decision-making. This session encourages continuous learning and emphasizes the importance of adopting best practices to achieve smaller carbon footprints, better maintenance processes, and more efficient operations.
