Nick Gunn, Founder, NiVack Group
James Lawler, Senior Director, Finance, EMCOR Facilities ServicesLearn moreYou’ve decided to proceed with an IFM program…but is it the right move, and how can you help ensure its success? Moreover, how do you define “success”? We’re told that by implementing an IFM program you’ll create a more streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective way to handle your facilities management under one consolidated solution, but is it that simple? There are times that things don’t work the way you envision after you sign on the dotted line. This panel will explore the times an IFM model has worked well (and why), the times it hasn’t (and why) and the grey areas in between.

Reduce Repair and Maintenance Spend by 20% by Going Beyond Hourly Rates
Todd Lutwak, EVP of Marketplace Development, ServiceChannel
Khalid Bitar, Manager of Strategic Operations, ServiceChannelLearn moreUsing data collected from brands and industries, we will bust the myth that a lower hourly labor rate leads to lower costs for your organization. In reality, there is almost no correlation. Time on site is significantly more predictive of total cost and of quality. However, most organizations cannot consider historical time on site for new vendors, they only have the ability to evaluate hourly rate. The ServiceChannel team will present and discuss an expanded set of metrics for benchmarking providers and an easy system to annually replace low performers. Put together, this data and approach have repeatedly shown 20% of more savings for large multi-site brands.

Fireside Chat: Creating A Facilities Management Program To Support Supplier Diversity and Sustainability
Mike Knievel, Director, Strategic Sourcing, Gilead Sciences
Learn moreThis panel conversation will focus on learning from panelists who have started to, or have laid the foundation to create a program that includes diverse suppliers and sustainability initiatives. The conversation will have an outward focus on how to find diverse suppliers in the facilities space, and push towards diverse use of different spend tiers. We’ll then shift over to sustainability initiatives to learn about what is being done to go green. Green roofs, solar panels, recycled furniture, janitorial suppliers… Are you paying more to do the right thing, and sometimes even paying the same or less for sustainability.
