Because most CFO’s/CBO’s did not come to their positions with a background in construction or facilities and energy management, there is a big knowledge gap to bridge when it comes to their leadership role in overseeing the facilities management function. Therefore, it is critical that the senior facilities officer seek to bridge that gap by building a strong, collaborative working relationship focused on regular communication, education, and the provision of data and information about the needs and priorities of the physical facilities and utilities infrastructure.

This column briefly captures a portion of content from a 25-minute facilities “primer” videocast for NACUBO (National Association of College and University Business Officers) in February 2015 and that was posted on their website in early March (www.nacubo.org).
