Steve Willis, FMP is Vice President for Specialty Services at Mooring USA where his is a team builder, networker and educator in the field of disaster restoration and commercial construction. Mike Petrusky asks Steve about the future role of facility managers as the built environment becomes more complex and demanding due to the integration of new technologies and the aging of buildings. They explore how natural disasters, construction defects, HVAC problems, and plumbing failures can pose significant challenges for FM leaders caring for the occupants of their facilities. Steve believes that health and safety will continue to be a growing focus for the industry, with facility managers playing an essential role in maintaining safe and healthy environments, so he encourages listeners to "find a partner, not a vendor" who can provide broader support and assistance beyond just their specific services. The future of facilities management will likely involve more advanced technology integration, including robotics and improved construction techniques to extend building life cycles, so Mike and Steve offer the encouragement you need to be an Asset Champion in your organization!
