Some days after stakeholders in the Nigerian Facilities Management
industry converged
and deliberated on the way forward for institutionalising maintenance
culture and establishment of enabling policies for the industry growth, Olumide
Aina, the Keynote Speaker at the advocacy event and Chief Executive Office of
Green Facilities Limited, has reiterated the need for knowledge and experience sharing
among the professionals and players.
Mr Aina, who also teaches Facilities Management practitioners at the
University of Lagos, stressed this while reacting to a comment on his
professional medium. Alice Omisanya, a Facilities Services Manager at the
University of London, ask Aina about the possible strategy that could be used
to enhance value in the industry.
Aina says: “We need to start by sharing knowledge and experience as it
influences the way we think and this will resonate and echo every time we
conceptualize and ideate to create solutions to the dynamic issues we have in
the built space.
“Further to this, research, research, research through knowledge
management is the new currency and a tool to make a clear difference in FM.
When we all invest in searching out new things and then implementing same, it
will work like magic. This may take a while, but its impact will transform our
lives with the way we work and live. In here, available tools such as Techs can
easily have a laminar flow into this entire system. Repeat this process with
easy feedback system which forms the input to another cycle and I think we will
achieve a whole lot.”
“Facilities Management needs more advocacy in Nigeria and Africa. It's a
profession of choice and a strategy to solve sustainable issues while adding
value to our business and life. Facilities Managers are #champions and we need
to celebrate them because they solve numerous problems for us at the workplace,”
the Chief Executive Officer of Green Facilities says in his post that prompted
the comment.
Mr Aina’s position has been stressed by Infoprations in one of
its analyses on the ways to ensure recognition of the industry by the public
sectors and individuals. In
the analysis, Infoprations stresses the need for corporate knowledge
sharing, especially tacit ones among the professionals.
