Susan Clarke is Senior Manager of Building Operations Strategy at Autodesk and Erik Zink is VP of Worktech Consultancy & Corporate Development at Eptura where they work to serve the marketplace with a strong alliance between the two companies. Mike Petrusky asks Susan and Erik to share the latest trends and challenges in asset management, the opportunity for collaboration between different teams, and what it takes to be a facility management leader today. They discuss the importance of data quality, the role of AI in improving workflows, and the need for a holistic approach that considers the entire asset lifecycle. Quality data in asset management is a "team sport" that requires collaboration across multiple teams, including architecture, construction, and operations, so the guests share a framework for enhancing data management by focusing on stakeholders, standards, and skills. Susan and Erik offer practical advice for facility and asset management leaders on how to start small with digital transformation projects as they give you the tools you will need to be an Asset Champion in your organization!
