In this module we focus on how to increase the added value of Facility Management. The module is part of the MSc programme Facility & Real Estate Management. Every euro we spend on facilities, doesn’t go to the primary process; so there is a kind of a moral duty to add value and to bring the organization closer to the goals by delivering enabling facilities. Main topics in this module: alignment of goals, outsourcings decision, integrality and cohesion, best value procurement.

Programma

Students prepare the sessions and they pitch their preparations right at the start of the day. Then group discussions take place, interactive workshops, exercises (group wise and individually). Specialists give guest lectures about e.g. Managing costs, quality, relations and client satisfaction, trends and developments, knowing the real demand (instead of the pitfall thinking you know them) The atmosphere in class is quite loose; different thoughts are being encouraged. Active participation of all attendees is the recipe to create an effective learning environment.

Preparation of the sessions, attending the sessions, processing the discussed information and the assignments (1 paper to write and 1 oral exam) will take between150 -200 hours.
