8 | EDITOR'S LETTER
The Internet of Things has revolutionised much of the way facility managers go about their business, but there’s no doubt it has created a whole new set of challenges as well. As never before, we’re seeing an extraordinary level of integration between the systems underpinning smart buildings, the people who work in them and the teams that manage and maintain them. But with every technological innovation that comes to the fore, there are legions of criminal types intent on exploiting whatever they can. Insurers would call it business ‘disruption’ until that term was hijacked as a synonym for innovation itself. In this issue of FM , we look at how prepared facility and building managers are to manage cyber risk. Given the implementation of new data privacy laws and the announcement of a hack into a system or worse every other week, it’s timely to remind FMs that their systems are only as good as the weakest link. We also profile Peter Dollin, head of workplace in Australia for global behemoth KPMG. It’s easy to assume someone in Peter’s position came through traditional financial services, but his story is unique – starting his working life as a plasterer. With workplace change and deriving the maximum value from the built environment remaining top of mind for many FMs, we have a special feature on change management, featuring two of our regular columnists, Rodney Timm and Karen Skillings. This is my final issue as editor of FM and I’ve very much enjoyed immersing myself in such a diverse and stimulating environment. I hope you enjoy the read as much as I’ve enjoyed the ride.
