Review and critically examine the strategic and operational objectives of an organisation which you are familiar with and propose a framework to bridge the gap between strategy and operation.

Rationale: Strategy in FM is one of the key cornerstone for managing buildings and asset in any organisation and contribute enormously to the continuity and survivability on both the medium and long-term.
Description:
Review and critically examine the strategic and operational objectives of an organisation which you are familiar with and propose a framework to bridge the gap between strategy and operation. Based on your own observation, you need to identify five key areas of conflicts as experienced first hand and undertake further research into the theory of facilities management to reflect and underpin your observations. You need to suggest ways to address these gaps and propose practical approach and operational steps to overcome such conflict between strategy and operation and address the key barriers which militate against smooth and easy operation. In so doing you need to focus on the core FM activities which include mainly space planning and design, asset management, maintenance management and life cycle.
