Digital transformation initiatives have been a prominent force for the past decade, but it was the COVID-19 pandemic that truly thrust numerous organizations into a digital-first realm. These digital technologies serve as the fundamental catalyst for change in the business landscape, extending their influence to facility management (FM) as well.[1]
In today's landscape, organizations now rely on FM teams to not only support organization-wide initiatives but also spearhead specific DT efforts. However, this poses a significant challenge for many FM leaders. The impact of DT goes beyond the mere adoption of new technologies, as it fundamentally alters the role of buildings in value creation and transforms how FM companies operate, catering to the needs of core organizations and end users.
As a result, DT is not just a technical hurdle for FM leaders. Simply adopting new technologies is not enough; organizations must also develop new capabilities that align with your business goals. Therefore, DT is more of a leadership challenge. Leaders must guide their organizations through this transformational journey as technology advances rapidly, affecting community, ecosystem, and customer expectations.
The FM community and built environment needs practical advice moving forward.
