When we talk about FM, most of the current players think of providing FM services to our clients in whatever way suits them best. This approach might work just fine if we are providing single or few services to small local clients.
However, the question we are always asking to ourselves is; shall we be content with what we do and have now, or shall we move a step further and look beyond traditional ways of FM practices?
Being part of these big changes happening around us is exciting and challenging at the same time.
IFM and FM industry is going through fundamental changes. Therefore, a multidimensional approach is needed.
As the ongoing war against Covid-19, is still very much active across the world, a new type of trend and technology is emerging.
A technology focused on helping people going back to normal as much as possible. And when we talk about the people, the first thing in mind is that for them to go back to normal at their offices, retail sites, manufacturing sites, etc. they need our support.
Hence, the FM industry is under tremendous pressure to make sure that the people are going back to normal as soon as possible and with as little disruption to their work or life as possible.
In other words, the FM industry is at the very center stage of defining success or failure.
The number of Covid19 cases unfortunately keeps increasing around the world. Given the long-lasting presence of the virus, it is evident that we need to adapt to new forms of working together. To support our clients in this difficult time, our appointed Special Covid19 Response Team, has developed a Stress-Free Return to the Workplace Program.
Operation Excellence is the savoir-faire of delivering optimal services to ensure client’s expectations and satisfaction.
Safe return of employees at their workplace is the most important component of any post Covid-19 recovery plans for any companies.
However, it does not mean that the employees can return as it was another Monday morning, or companies simply hand them out masks and hand sanitizers at the entrance door, or just going to their desks as nothing happen and sit or work as usual, etc.
From the management point of view, this situation resembles more like starting a new business.
As we are slowly adjusting to the post Covid-19 reality, ‘What is next’ is the most important question on everyone’s mind.
Have you ever felt a meeting was too long or unproductive? No matter what business you are in, (bad) meetings happen in every company.
The question is, what is the purpose of a meeting?
As an IFM service provider, we often conduct projects for our clients such as supporting our clients in moving office or doing construction projects. For the successful completion of projects, our team goes through different phases to ensure a clear process and maximum efficiency. Today, we would like to share with you the four basic phases we go through that can help you get started on any project.
In the Art of IFM Part 2, we would like to give you an overview of the IFM structure, service delivery methods, and IFM industry development
Given the current business environment, we are facing a situation where all businesses, big or small, are suffering from sudden and unexpected changes occurring in such a short period of time.
How IFM can benefit and support businesses in this uncertain time?
As the COVID-19 is still spreading across the world, the immediate impact is astonishing. Where will this new world lead us?
Incidents in facilities can easily happen when a performant management is not implemented.
The IFM model provides a decrease on risk by complying with Global Standard Risk and Hazard Management Solutions
We are living in a world where “good is not good enough.” We can only survive and strive through continuous improvement on our self and services first and foremost.
At Gold Bricks FMS, we believe hardships are opportunities to reinforce services and develop further.
In the face of adversity, rest assured that we are with you, we hear you, and we will safely navigate this storm together.
When it comes to preventing a viral epidemic, each of us can adopt some standards precautions such as hand hygiene, cough etiquette etc.
However, in order to efficiently prevent the virus from spreading, it is crucial to implement a comprehensive strategy and procedure in our environment namely in our facilities.
Business owners are looking for innovative ways to speed up their offerings to the market, differentiation and new technologies for their industry.
IFM leaders must be able to adapt and deploy the right strategies, resources, objective framework plan, risk management plan, continuous improvement plan etc. to ensure excellent service delivery and assist the client on continuing their current operations at a competitive level.
IFM ensures the maintenance of all facilities and the well-being of employees at their workplace through multiple services.
One of the key IFM services is Hard and Soft services.
In business, leaders are crucial actors of the well-being of a company. Leaders ensure a vision for the company which leads to its success. But what does a great leader mean?
Today, we really want to tackle this crucial question regarding the value of IFM. We often hear: “What value will the Integrated facility Management (IFM) Model add to our organization?” or “We understand the FM concept but, what benefits our
The Korean Facility Management Association (KFMA) organized the 25th Internatioanl Symposium on Survival Facility Management on Thursday November 7 and Friday November 8, 2019 at Seoul University. This event, which happens once a year, aims at sharing and understanding the different experiences, perspectives, and new technologies related to the FM business.
“We, as a human being, are always pondering about dreaming, progress or achievement in our professional life. In other words, we wish that all of our dreams come true.
But, in Gold Bricks FMS case, we are strongly questioning this very fundamental belief. What we are asking for is whether the dream of achieving something shall be called a dream after all.”
From 9th of May 2017, GB FMS conducted electric work project on three stores of Hermes Korea, a French high fashion luxury brand.
STIC Investment signed a contract for their first investment after developement of ‘STIC PAN ASIA 4th Industry Gross PEF’ of 320 billion KRW.
Their first investment target in the fund is Gold Bricks FMS, leading IFM industry in Korea which provides IFM services to business and commercial work spaces and facilities.
We are living in a world where a deep and long-term strategic thinking is what differentiate a very successful organization from others.
These days many people come up with a question – “What is IFM?” and where to find information about it. However, it is not easy to understand the concept of IFM and not much information is available to learn in depth.
It is a pity that Korea is far lagged behind compared to other global IFM markets.
Gold Bricks FMS (GB FMS) is selected as the IFM service provider of a global conglomerate. GB FMS will provide IFM (Integrated Facility Management) services
“During the meeting with a CEO of a global IFM company, he suddenly asked me a question – “Is your company selling savings?”. I replied him “Yes” directly and after a while I thought it was a very sophisticated definition of IFM (Integrated Facility Management) service.”
“In this steep growing situation, the key is how to provide stable services and secure operation and how effectively integrate new business developments. We will be successful and You can expect an unprecedented local IFM company from us.”
