Thought of the day - SPICE FM Processes

Discussion about the adoption of FM processes into HEIs

Example 1 – Application of SPICE FM processes maturity model in NHS facilities. The SPICE FM framework evaluated the FM processes of the facilities directorate identified at the level 2 of the SPICE model (Amaratunga, D., Haigh, R, et.al 2002)
· Review of operational processes within the department, highlighting its key strength and weakness
· A prioritised list of process related improvements based on its contribution to the department strategic objectives
The SPICE models does not specifically deal with formulating and evaluating FM strategies. Focus at operational/ employee level – day to day action which can see not link with FM strategies.
This approach can be seen as it (what is happening) not To be (what should happen) – audit tool.

Case study research methodology is the most suitable research strategy in searching FM processes protocol applicability within HEIs Estate Division. – understanding processes as they occur in their context.
