Ahead of the publication of the full report later this month, RICS in collaboration with IFMA has published an executive summary of the RICS’ ‘Raising the Bar’ research series. The new report, written by Occupiers Journal, makes a case for how facilities management makes contributes to business success and organisational effectiveness. The report reviews the current state of the FM sector. ‘Raising the Bar: From Operational Excellence to Strategic Impact in FM‘ identifies the key issues facing the industry and puts ways forward for how FM can build recognition and understanding within the boardroom, among other business leaders, and with related infrastructure groups.
