Session 1
What distinguishes a good model from a bad one? What makes a good financial model? How can this help FM? In the Nordeinde of the Hague, an unoccupied office block (corner of Anna Paulowonastraat and Kortenaerkade,) is planned to be transformed into high spec apartments. Can a bespoke Business Plan and Financial Model convince the Board that this is a good move, including sustainability? Mike helps the team to develop both BP and Financial Model.

Session 2
Investment Appraisal, Working Capital and Sources of Capital focussed on the Facility sector. Any hidden traps? How do we value a building? Sustainability an issue/factor?

Session 3
Performance Measurement and Management (KPIs etc). The Facility Manager is proactive and propose KPIs to measure their own performance, rather than waiting for the Board to chose KPIs and tell them. Sustainability could be one measure too. Can Buildings communicate to us. Risk Management for the FaM. Treasury aspects that could trap the unwary FaM.

Session 4
Are we really on track in construction A, or is it just an illusion caused by delays: Budgeting and Variance reporting for the FaM, more skill needed. Interpretation trickier than in other sectors. A case study from the Public Sector. An example of the need for Activity Based Management, based on real public sector example. Accounting Terminology that FM must know.
