From the Boiler Room to the Board Room – Communicating the VALUE of Infrastructure Investment to Non-Facility Leadership
2023-05-17 11:30 - 13:00 | Engineering Society of Detroit, 20700 Civic Center Drive, Suite 450, Southfield, MI, 48076, United States
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.

Educational Meeting - Strategic Energy Management (SEM)
2023-01-11 11:30 - 13:00 | Engineering Society of Detroit, 20700 Civic Center Drive, Suite 450, Southfield, MI, 48076, United States
About this event

Presentation Synopsis:

As energy efficiency and optimization efforts progress, organizations find it increasingly challenging to manage the wide range of energy efficiency opportunities and continuously improve energy management over a long-term life cycle. Without a formal plan, facility managers and energy managers can be overwhelmed by their day-to-day responsibilities, organizational energy saving targets, project management obligations, equipment and system maintenance, and emerging technologies.
To address these challenges, Strategic Energy Management (SEM) provides a holistic long-term approach that guides customers to manage energy use with focus on business practice change and commitment from executive management, facility management, and facility staff to reduce energy waste and improve energy intensity.
At its foundation, SEM promotes commitment, planning, energy management education, measurement of energy performance, and continues improvement. SEM equips and enables facility management and staff to impact consumption through operational and behavioral change.
In this presentation, Mr. Feras Karim will introduce the audience to the concept of SEM with a focus on customer/end-user benefits. The presentation will cover the following:

What is SEM?
How SEM works
Is SEM the right program for you?
