How can your organization objectively determine which capital projects to fund this year, and which should have the greatest priority?
In this webinar, we'll present a case study describing the capital budgeting process implemented at Baylor University. The speaker will discuss best-practice approaches for creating capital budgets that objectively balance the concerns of diverse functions and constituencies and align with strategic business goals. And, we’ll present prioritization strategies for ranking different types of physical capital investments—facilities, capital equipment—and compare various budget scenarios to see the impact of different investment levels.
During this interactive webinar, you’ll have the chance to converse with our panelists as they explore how organisations are leveraging their real estate assets for profitable growth and solid returns, while minimizing business risks. They’ll look at what high performance real estate organisations are doing to set themselves apart and how facilities managers are contributing to these business decisions.
Join us for an interactive online debate on how FMs are:
- Aligning real estate strategies with organisational mission
- Implementing a capital asset management framework that gives all stakeholders visibility into the process
- Managing costly business risks associated with facilities assets
- Prioritizing projects to enable corporate capital investments that yield the highest returns on facility assets
- Managing TCO savings per square foot
With the current focus on Executive Orders 13514 & 13423, mandating reductions in carbon emissions and energy usage, those responsible for federal property management are challenged with how to address these requirements as part of a comprehensive capital plan.
In this webinar, you will learn about various approaches to integrating sustainability and energy into your capital planning. We will also discuss how to evaluate these options, providing you with a knowledge base to build upon.
How can you jumpstart the process of establishing, analyzing, and validating portfolio-wide facilities data?
