The REAL Barrier to Improved Facilities Lifecycle Management lies in the four cohorts of the status quo.
The four cohorts of the status quo
#1 The first group cares about the policy. They benefit from it. They’ve organized themselves around it. (It makes no sense to argue with the first group.)
#2 The second group cares about stability. They have limited bandwidth, and they’re not particularly interested in reconsidering everything, all the time.
#3 The third group doesn’t care that much.
#4 And the fourth group is harmed by the policy, either directly or indirectly.
Change happens slowly because the first three groups have power, inertia and communications on their side.
Change happens when the fourth group can create the conditions for the third group to care, and then these two groups move the urgency up the agenda.
Robust solutions have existed for decades to enable the consistent delivery of quality repair, renovation, maintenance, and new build solutions on time and on budget.
Relationships that lead to mutual benefit and can be easily formed by groups who traditionally operate as competitors fighting head-to- head in the construction industry. This traditional fragmentation is a major obstacle to industry development.
The pervasive ‘status quo’ noted above is enabled by the lack of capable, accountable real property owner leadership and is the primary barrier to productivity improvement.
