Ep. 351: “Keep Reskilling” – Leading Through Change and the Future of FM Innovation with Lorri Rowlandson and Alana Dunoff, ProFM, FMP, IFMA Fellow

Lorri Rowlandson is Senior Vice President for Strategy & Innovation at BGIS in Toronto and Alana Dunoff, ProFM, FMP, IFMA Fellow is a Consultant and Adjunct Professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. They joined Mike Petrusky on stage in front of an audience of FM professionals at IFMA’s Facility Fusion in Austin, TX to record a live podcast called “Leading through Change and the Future of FM Innovation” where they discussed change management and the role of technology in the built environment. Mike asked his guests to share practical use cases as they focused on sharing specific ways that facility managers can have a significant impact on the health of human beings in the workplace. Innovation in FM should start with small, incremental changes, and the panel emphasized that technology, especially AI, should be used to enhance human potential rather than replace it. Lorri and Alana agreed that continuous learning and upskilling are essential for staying relevant in this rapidly changing industry, so they offered change management strategies and practical advice to help you be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
