Facility management - Development of facility management strategy (ISO 41014:2020)

See ISO/TC 267 N 198 which defines the scope as:
"The standard will outline the ways in which facility managers can influence significantly the main decision makers of their demand organization and can establish communication with them regarding the role of FM on the long term. It will also show techniques and principles to derive the FM Strategy from the Core Business Strategy. The main goal of the standard is to help its users to set up a new FM Strategy, therefore this document describes in detail the content and the steps to elaborate the FM Strategy. It also shows principles for considering different future scenarios and possible risks and the way to find the most likely scenario."

Facility Management - Entwicklung einer Facility Management Strategie (ISO 41014:2020)

Dieses Dokument gibt Leitlinien für die Entwicklung einer Strategie für das Facility Management (FM), wenn die FM Organisation:
a)   beabsichtigt, die Übereinstimmung zwischen den FM Anforderungen und den  Zielen, Erfordernissen und Einschränkungen des Kerngeschäfts der Nachfrageorganisation sicherzustellen;
b)   den Nutzen und die Vorteile der Einrichtungen zur Verbesserung der Nachfrageorganisation und ihres Kerngeschäfts verbessern will;
c)   darauf abzielt, die Erfordernisse der Stakeholder und die geltenden Bestimmungen konsequent zu erfüllen;
d)   darauf abzielt, in einem weltweiten konkurrenzorientierten Umfeld nachhaltig zu sein.

Introduction
0.1  General
Facility management (FM) integrates multiple disciplines in order to have an influence on the efficiency
and productivity of economies of societies, communities and organizations, as well as the manner in
which individuals interact with the built environment. FM affects the safety, well-being and quality
of life of much of the world’s societies and population through the services it manages and delivers
(see ISO 41001).
NOTE 1 FM is defined as an organizational function which integrates people, place and process within the
built environment with the purpose of improving the quality of life of people and the productivity of the core
business (see ISO 41011:2017, 3.1.1).
FM is of strategic importance because it directly supports a demand organization’s core business
strategy, enabling its objectives and plans to be realized through the management of facilities that are
safe, reliable, efficient, cost effective and sustainable.
NOTE 2 A demand organization is an entity which has a need and the authority to incur costs to have
requirements met (see ISO 41011:2017, 3.3.1.1), e.g. a facility owner, operator, owner-operator, tenant or, in some
cases, a managing agent acting on behalf of an owner.
This document refers to the demand organization and to the organization responsible for FM and
facility services. A distinction is necessary because of the variable nature in which FM is organized
and where facility services are delivered through personnel within the demand organization, through
external service providers or a combination of the two.
The guidance in this document applies principally to the organization responsible for FM. In situations
where there is presently no formal FM organization, a person (or body) should be appo

and where facility services are delivered through personnel within the demand organization, through
external service providers or a combination of the two.
The guidance in this document applies principally to the organization responsible for FM. In situations
where there is presently no formal organization for this purpose, a person (or body) should be appointed
to take an active role in developing the strategy for FM.
ISO 41001 makes reference to a strategy for FM and sets this in the context of a facility management
(FM) management system.
The benefits of developing a strategy for FM include:
— improved understanding of the demand organization’s objectives, needs and constraints and an
appropriate approach to FM and facility services;
— reduced likelihood of a disconnect between the demand organization’s objectives and needs and the
means to support them;
— alignment between FM requirements and the demand organization’s core business activities;
— improved efficiency in the management of FM in general and in the delivery of facility services in
particular;
— consistent management practices from a methodology for developing a strategy for FM that is
transparent, reproducible and measurable;
— a baseline for measuring improvement in the operational effectiveness of FM and its contribution to
the core business of the demand organization;
— contribution to the cost-efficiency of the demand organization and, where applicable, its
competitiveness;
— contribution to sustainability through the more efficient use of scarce resources.
This document is intended to fill a gap in the current provision of guidance to enable the most
appropriate approach to FM and facility services to be determined. The aim is to promote awareness,
competence development and expertise in the FM organization by providing strategic advice on the
decisions affecting the management of the facilities and/or the delivery of facility services.

Specifically, this document is applicable to any FM organization that wishes to:
— utilize a methodology for developing a strategy for FM;
— assure itself of the alignment of the FM strategy with the core business strategy of the demand
organization;
— demonstrate conformity with this document by:
— making a self-determination and self-declaration;
— seeking confirmation of its conformity by parties having an interest in the FM organization;
— seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the FM organization.
This document cannot be used for certification purposes but does provide guidance for internal or
external audit programmes. Users of this document can compare practices for developing a strategy
for their FM with an internationally recognised benchmark, providing sound principles for the effective
management of those practices.
0.2  Process approach
This document provides a common basis for understanding the factors that the FM organization should
consider when developing a strategy for FM. It promotes a methodology to assist the FM organization in
determining the most appropriate approach to, and arrangements for, the development of a strategy as
a basis for the subsequent implementation of tactical and operational FM requirements to support the
demand organization’s core business, primarily its business activities.
This document emphasizes the decisions, activities, information, data and stakeholders that have to be
coordinated into a manageable process for the development of a strategy for FM and the stages within
it, including:
— understanding the demand organization: context, governance, risk management and strategic
alignment (see Clause 4);
— developing FM requirements: interest in facilities, maturity of FM, stakeholders, priorities,
functional requirements, services, delivery options and sourcing (see Clause 5);
— formulating the FM strategy: compiling the strategy, its format and content, budgetary requirements,
procurement, communication, feedback and implementation (see Clause 6);
— managing performance: monitoring and control, performance indicators, measurement, review,
corrective actions and lessons learned (see Clause 7);
— improving outcomes: applying lessons learned, reassessing outputs and targets, updating the
strategy and policy (see Clause 8).
When adopting a process approach to the development of a strategy, it can be helpful to consider three
phases: analysis, solution and implementation. These are covered by Clause 4, Clause 5 and Clauses 6-8
respectively.
The methodology is intended to be scalable, meaning that this document’s provisions are applicable to
any FM organization to a greater or lesser extent. As such, the FM organization can determine which of
the provisions apply fully or partially to the development of the FM strategy in line with the objectives,
needs and constraints of the demand organization’s core business and the type, size, complexity,
condition and geographical location of its facilities.
