Council Formation

By Tom Cruse, January 2010.

Twenty years ago where would you go to seek information about facilities management, design and construction? Twenty-two years ago my career began at a higher education institution and this was a considerable change from my former pursuits. In many respects this became a challenge and a new endeavor which presented unusual, but always interesting projects. What most individuals seek is both information and those knowledgeable in the field who can advise the novice in past experiences of what works and what doesn't. No one wants to repeat the same mistake some others have already learned the hard way. Similarly, if an individual has a good idea and has put it into practice, why not share that with your colleagues?
