Activities completed (as of Feb. 2012):
Member survey
An email-based member survey on the future of the IFMA workplace was sent to all members to allow them to participate in this process and share their expertise/vision. View the survey summary from the more than 650 respondents. The pictures on the survey image gallery depict future workplace imagery submitted by survey participants.
Leadership interviews
Interviews were conducted with key IFMA departmental managers and HQ Project Steering Committee members. The interviews’ objective was to provide DEGW with a high-level understanding of how departments within IFMA currently operate, as well as their vision for future work.
Employee survey
Employee focus groups were conducted with a cross-section of employees from across IFMA departments. An array of activities were used to understand current work patterns, opportunities as well as articulate future workplace ideas.
Observational/time utilization study
For 10 days, a study of the IFMA space was conducted as part of a comprehensive evaluation to better understand current patterns of space use.
In progress:
Professional services solicitations
Concurrent to the strategy development activities, IFMA will be releasing an RFP to the pre-qualified real estate/broker services firms and is currently reviewing the pre-qualified architectural and engineering services firms’ RFPs.
