Content
Our environment (physical, digital, social) is an integrated system. Approaching it in a holistic way creates (more) value. Prof. Dr Per Anker Jensen MSc/MBA shares his viewpoints and learning how to manage and measure adding value with and through Facilities Management (FM) and Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM).
FM and CREM have had a strong focus on controlling and reducing costs. In recent years there has been a shift towards putting more focus on how they can direct and indirectly impact on value parameters of an organisation.
Per Anker Jensen is a professor in Facilities Management at Denmark Technical University (DTU) and head of the externally funded Centre for Facilities Management – Realdania Research. He is currently the project manager on a joint EuroFM research project on The Added Value of FM, which started in January 2009. He is the author of many books and scientific publications.
One of his latest books is ‘Facilities Management and Corporate Real Estate Management as Value Drivers’ (2017), co-edited with Theo van der Voordt. (ISBN 978-1-138-90718-8)
