John Edwards to Present “Duct Tape vs. Dollars: Smarter Facility Planning” at NASFA Corporate Spotlight on April 8 at 2 pm.
Facility directors everywhere know the struggle: balancing limited budgets, emergency repairs, and the ever-growing list of capital renewal needs. On April 8, John Edwards will tackle this challenge head-on during his session at the NASFA Corporate Spotlight, titled “Duct Tape vs. Dollars: Smarter Facility Planning.”
In this practical, insightful session, John will dive into a question every facility professional has faced at one point or another: When is it okay to reach for the duct tape—and when is it time to invest real dollars? Too often, facilities fall into the trap of short-term fixes, patching up systems without a clear, long-term strategy in place. These temporary solutions might hold things together for now, but they often come at a cost: deferred maintenance, mounting risks, and missed opportunities for true optimization.
John will explore how facility leaders can shift from reactive to proactive by leveraging accurate, up-to-date asset data. He’ll walk through key strategies for forecasting both maintenance and capital renewal needs, ensuring that decision-makers have the insight they need to prioritize effectively. From identifying which systems demand immediate attention to planning strategically for future investments, this session is all about empowering facilities teams to maximize their resources—without relying on quick fixes.
Attendees will leave with actionable steps to:
- Keep asset data current and relevant
- Forecast maintenance and renewal costs with greater accuracy
- Prioritize projects based on long-term value, risk, and budget impact
- Make smarter, data-driven decisions for their facility portfolios
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to ditch the duct tape and take a more strategic, sustainable approach to capital planning.
