As companies become even more concerned with operational costs, facilities managers are increasingly being asked to have answers when asked about the return on investment for facilities projects.
In the article, Estes touches on a wealth of topics essential for facilities managers when analyzing ROI including:
• The differences between SOI and ROI
• Selecting metrics
• Capturing analytics
• Measuring business impact of projects
“When facilities managers can effectively present a proposed project’s ROI, they can position themselves as an essential, value-added, strategic partner in helping an organization to grow,” explains Estes.
