Professional body for facilities management, BIFM, has opened delegate bookings for its 2015 ThinkFM conference, to be held on 13 May this year at Kings Place, London, and to again be hosted by Daisy McAndrew, former economics editor for ITV News.
Called ‘The Competitive Edge: Gaining competitive advantage through the workplace’, the symposium will explore the role that the workplace plays in supporting organisational performance and creating competitive edge. The BIFM added: “The panel of expert industry speakers, all leading practitioners in their field, have seen first-hand how, with an appropriate culture and management approach, the workplace is able to become a competitive differentiator in its own right.
“Delegates will explore a number of overall concepts, including the influence of environments and processes on human behaviour, and how working lives will be organised in the future. Technology’s impact on the human condition, and what it means for the workplace, will be considered. The event will also include practical case study presentations by some of the world’s leading organisations revealing how they have delivered competitive edge.”
