Certainly! As a facility manager, you can utilize creativity to solve problems by optimizing space, enhancing energy efficiency, implementing innovative maintenance strategies, promoting sustainability, preparing for emergencies creatively, integrating technology, and fostering collaborative problem-solving.

Creative solutions can also be ideas that provide more than just 1 benefit. Eg. a green roof system. This not only provides insulation, reducing heating and cooling costs. It also creates a space for biodiversity, helps to manage rainwater runoff and provides a steady supply of fresh plants for the lobby area. Multiple solutions.

One thing I've found helpful with Energy Management Systems is that we can automatically control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) based on how many people are in different areas. If sensors notice that a room is empty, the system will lower the heating or cooling in that room to save energy.

Creative solutions make a significant changes in Facilities management like putting 1.Sensor based light, 2.Outdoor light should be solar based, 3.Put Sign glow to to incourage savings electricity. These small step put significant changes for saving power consumption. ??

Talking about engaging teams, one area I have come to find this concept very useful is in community stakeholder management. In my experience, working in the oil and gas industry, it's become more of a requirement and a sustainable strategy to engage local vendors for some of the FM services. It's wise to plan for and execute this sensitive aspect of the operation very well.

Technology will always play a vital role whether in enhancing operational efficiency, monitoring & reporting, Customer Service or any key FM aspect. Making its deployment user-friendly/ fit-for-purpose and cost effective are critical success factors in determining how to leverage technology in FM.

As sustainable solutions become more important in FM, we see ever more creative people coming up with new, creative solutions. Keeping up with industry news, innovations and technology helps to provide you with up to date ideas to implement yourself.
