Make the Business Case for Your Facilities' Needs

How well is your facilities portfolio in alignment with your institution’s strategic direction? Its academic focus?

Do you know exactly how many buildings you have on campus and how efficiently your facilities operate?

Do you know how your campus stands up to its peers?

Can you answer your campus administrators’ questions with hard data, charts, and graphs to support your projects?

Your job as an educational facilities professional depends on this knowledge. But how do you get it if you don’t already have it?

Participate in APPA’s Facilities Performance Indicators (FPI) survey and you can not only gather this information but have it virtually in your hip pocket at all times!

The FPI Survey is Now OPEN - Data Collection Ends December 1, 2008

Track Your Facilities' Vital Signs

Collect less data, get more results

Create a balanced scorecard of data around your institutional vision & mission

The 2008 FPI will continue to embrace the concepts of the Balanced Scorecard through the inclusion of indicators from each of the four balanced scorecard perspectives.

The organizing framework, however, will shift from modules to an Essential Question Set for which all facilities professionals should have the answers. The new framework will also allow facilities professionals to easily and clearly share these answers with campus decision makers.

The Essential Questions:

1. What facilities make up our institution?

2. Is my institution adequately funding the facilities management annual budget?

3. Are the operating funds that my facilities department receives being spent in a manner that supports desired outcomes?

4. Is my institution making the right investment in our existing buildings, infrastructure and academic programs?

5. Are the customers satisfied with the space and service?

6. Am I building a staff that can sustain excellence?
