Mars and Pluto are millions of miles apart. And, often times, corporate leadership and property management seem that far apart, as well. This session – designed for both the c-suite and operations – bridges the gap between financial capital stewardship and building program management, using the concept of total cost of ownership as a common denominator. The speakers will discuss the differences between strategic planning and property maintenance master planning and introduce the framework for a Comprehensive Asset Management Program for existing buildings. The efficiencies that are created will not only pay for the program planning and implementation, they are also a potential source of ancilliary programmatic funding; ultimately serving as a common language to bring Mars and Pluto a little closer together.
