Facilities teams today are inundated with data: everything from asset records and work orders to sustainability metrics and sensor information. Yet far too often that data is incomplete or unreliable. The consequences are familiar: inefficient maintenance, reactive decisions, missed sustainability goals, and capital plans built on shaky foundations.

Paul Head, President of the IFMA Public Sector Council and Director at Nuvolo, challenges the idea that better facilities data requires massive, multi-year transformation efforts. Instead, he focuses on a pragmatic approach: stop trying to boil the ocean. Drawing on real-world experience across facilities operations, capital planning, and technology enablement, Paul will explore where FM data most commonly breaks down, why those failures matter operationally, and how organizations can regain confidence in their data by prioritizing what truly matters.

This webinar is designed for facilities and maintenance leaders across all industries who want to move from broad data ambitions to practical, achievable improvements that deliver real operational impact.

Paul will explore:

• How to identify the critical few data elements and assets that drive the majority of operational risk and cost
• How leaders can build credibility and adoption by simplifying data capture for technicians and operators
• Best practices to translate clean, reliable FM data into measurable outcomes, such as reduced downtime, fewer repeat visits, better capital forecasts, and achievable sustainability goals.
• Tips on how to use an IWMS as a foundational system of record that supports smarter buildings, predictive maintenance, and long-term decision-making without increasing technical debt.
