SUMMARY:From the Boiler Room to the Board Room – Communicating the VALUE of Infrastructure Investment to Non-Facility Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Summary Description:\nAs 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\nback 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\nalong 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\nknow 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\nrequests. Managing a facility is different than maintaining a facility.  \nQuoting 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! \n\nLearning Outcomes:\n1. Understand the difference between a cost-center and a profit-center and challenge ourselves to redefine the “Business” of facility management.\n2. Introduce the basic concepts of income statements and balance sheets to create a framework for communicating facility investment needs.\n3. Conduct “Sales” Training 101. Use the Features\, Advantages\, Benefits framework to articulate the VALUE streams of infrastructure investment to non-facility leadership.\n4. Identify common objections that are often used to justify budget limitations and discuss alternative means of “Selling” the ROI of infrastructure investment. \n Speaker Biography: \nMark Mochel\, MBA\, CHFM\, PMP\, ACABE is currently a Strategic Account Executive at Brightly\, a Siemens company. Before joining Brightly\, he was a Co-Founder and Senior Vice President\nat Facility Health Inc.\, where he was instrumental in introducing new infrastructure investment solutions and benchmarking capabilities to the healthcare industry. Mark has a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University\, an MBA from The University of Michigan\, and has held executive leadership roles in multiple industries\, providing a unique perspective on the challenges facing healthcare facility management today.

SUMMARY:Educational Meeting - Strategic Energy Management (SEM)
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\n\nPresentation Synopsis: \n\n\n\nAs 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. \nTo 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. \nAt 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. \nIn 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: \n\nWhat is SEM?\nHow SEM works\nIs SEM the right program for you?\nSEM program benefits\n\nSpeaker Bio:  \nMr. Feras Karim is a Solution Architect with 27 years of experience specializing in Energy Efficiency\, Building Automation Systems (BAS)\, enterprise energy management systems\, and Strategic Energy Management (SEM). He is a Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and certified Project Management Professional (PMP) that has managed projects for several Fortune 500 clients. \nFeras is currently serving as Program Manager for DTE’s Hospital Strategic Energy Management Program\, providing program design and development\, outreach\, and implementation services. \n Lunch / Meeting sponsored by DTE. \nThere is NO CHARGE to attend if you’re a SMSHE Member!
