Can Facility Management strategies develop in a matrix organization, and without touching upon Real Estate?
I work for a matrix organization, where buildings and sites are sometimes owned and sometimes leased. In my case, we have a strong concept for FM, and this has been launched and developed over the last 4 years. “My” site os leased (HQ, actually). It’s a bit frustrating to see the possibilities for efficiency and savings that lies in doing this for a wider range of sites, but I am told that this is hard (in fact almost impossible) to do in a matrix organization without interfering with the different site/plant managers responsibilities, results and budgets. Real estate is supposed to be looked into, but I am of the opinion that in order to maximize that analysis and see the whole potential in savings, etc, the FM should be looked into at the same time. Do I have a point or not? Anyone with experience or a professional view on this… Anyone…? helena.ribacke@private.
