An Aspirational Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Vision—A Collaborative Effort

What happens when we merge our facility’s data, internal expertise, and knowledge with industry standards and best practices? The effect is informed decision-making at the highest level. Every entity strives to reduce risk and make the most informed asset and facility decisions. With a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) strategy, decisions become more dependable, and risk is mitigated on a higher level.

Leadership Academy – Academy on Campus

APPA’s Leadership Academy is a unique experience that will expand your ability to be an effective leader. Our programming promotes the concepts and skills needed to be a life-long learner—not just in leadership but in your personal life, making this program a real “game-changer.”

The Leadership Academy is designed as an interactive learning experience. This means that there are many activities you will be asked to participate in, such as: organizing a cohort group, presenting group thoughts and ideas, leading a discussion on a given topic, listening to content delivery, and expressing new solutions to old problems, etc. This style requires that you participate but, more importantly, that you grow as a leader.

Supervisor’s Toolkit

Supervisor’s Toolkit has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the facilities management professional. It is a structured, open-ended, and pragmatic approach to developing supervisors. It is not so much a teaching program as a development process, designed to help supervisors realize both personal and professional growth.
