Program Description & Objectives
This course is designed to prepare individuals for an advanced or senior role in Facilities leadership. It will address the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to operate high performance facilities organizations in today’s complex environments.
Strategic alignment between the goals of the “demand organization” utilizing the facilities, and the actions of the facilities organization supporting their operation is critical to success. The expertise for the development and operation of these facilities is the responsibility of the Facilities Leader. Without the right knowledge, skills and abilities this key leader cannot succeed. Yet succeed he or she must, if the larger “demand organization” is to succeed in its mission.
The knowledge and expertise needed is skill based, not simply knowledge based. The successful Facilities Leader must be able to apply expertise to complex real-world situations.
This exciting program combines text-based knowledge, with real-world situations to develop a blended learning workshop that accelerates the Facilities Leader’s development as a strategic partner to the leaders of the “demand organization”
