FACILITY MANAGEMENT, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND AUTOMATION



Presented by Dr. Dean Kashiwagi



Thursday, January 28, 2021
12:00-1:30 PM





Artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics are infiltrating every sector of business life and over the next 30 years, white-collar facility management jobs are at risk. Those who can identify and utilize expertise will not be automated—call them the “FM Professionals and Expert Associates of the Future.”


Dr. Kashiwagi proposes that identifying and utilizing expertise to cut costs and increase performance is the only way to secure future positions with an approach called Best Value, which will allow facility professionals to increase their responsibilities while minimizing their workload. It values simplicity over technical complexity and utilizes the language of metrics.


We must learn this new paradigm and its vocabulary and actions to be successful for the future. Dr. Dean can show us the basics of this approach: reducing organizational costs by up to 30% while increasing the value and quality of services received.



Dr. Dean Kashiwagi is a towering figure in the facility management and procurement worlds, teaching thousands of students how to manage projects and establish sensible procurement methods. A Fulbright Scholar, a former IFMA Fellow, and an innovator and researcher of cutting edge technology in the areas of project management, risk management, procurement, and performance information,


Dr. Dean is an Arizona State University retired full professor, where he created the Information Measurement Theory (IMT), the Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS), the Best Value Approach (BVA), and the Performance Information Risk Management System (PIRMS), which has been used in 2,000 tests in 9 different countries delivering $6.6B of services in construction, services, and information technology. His accomplishments are simply too numerous to note! He has spoken to the Delaware Chapter of IFMA twice and we are thrilled to have him offer this webinar on AI and automation!
