NASFA Corporate Spotlight - May 2026
Featuring FEA
May 6, 2026 | 11:00am PT/ 1:00pm CT/ 2:00pm ET
DESCRIPTION
Master plans establish long-term direction, but they often provide limited guidance for the ongoing decisions required to maintain, renew, and prioritize existing facilities across large, complex portfolios. State facilities leaders face aging infrastructure, evolving space demands, deferred maintenance backlogs, and increasing expectations for transparency and accountability, all within constrained funding environments.
This session explores how transforming asset data into actionable asset intelligence enables more informed, defensible facilities planning. Participants will learn how to integrate asset condition, functionality, risk, and performance metrics to align organizational and statewide priorities with day-to-day operations and capital investment decisions. Real-world examples will demonstrate how consistent metrics and key performance indicators support predictive planning, improve facilities performance, and strengthen communication with executive leadership, governing boards, and state decision-makers.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Understand how to convert facilities asset data into actionable intelligence for planning and investment decisions.
Learn how to use consistent metrics and KPIs to prioritize maintenance, renewal, and capital investments.
Identify ways to improve transparency and communication with leadership and state decision-makers using data-driven insights.
