Turning building data into shared building intelligence

IFMA World Workplace, Anaheim Convention Center, California, United States
Building data is currently owned in fragments by whoever happens to hold the system that produced it. Tokenization offers a way to make that data shareable across owners, operators and tenants without any party giving up control of it. The session looks at what becomes possible when building intelligence is a shared asset rather than a private byproduct, and at the governance questions that arrive with it.

Predictive maintenance is not the finish line

The Workplace Event, NEC Birmingham, United Kingdom
Predictive maintenance is treated as the destination of building analytics, and it is closer to a starting point. Knowing that an asset will fail is only valuable if the organization can act on that knowledge faster than the failure arrives. The session works through what sits beyond prediction, and why the harder problem has always been the response rather than the forecast.
Conference session

Connecting OT and IT to strengthen business continuity

IFMA World Workplace Europe, Fokker Terminal, The Hague, the Netherlands
Operational technology and information technology grew up in separate parts of the organization, with separate owners, separate risk models and separate language. Business continuity depends on both. The session examines what connecting them actually requires, and why the obstacles are more often organizational than technical.
Roundtable

Age of acceleration

Breda University of Applied Sciences, Breda, the Netherlands
A lecture for students entering facility management and built environment careers, on what changes when buildings begin producing continuous evidence about their own use. Technology has accelerated. The organizations that decide what to do about it have not, and that distance is the condition this generation of professionals will inherit.
