The ticking bomb [electronic resource] - [S.I.]bBIFM 2012 - FM World Online 22 March 2012 .

Recent research by the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) and Gensler points to the worrying conclusion that within 10 years the profession will lose most of its oldest and wisest facilities managers. This future shortfall is the most important issue facing the industry in the short and medium term. The profession is slowly waking up to the urgent need to attract new high-quality entrants into FM. An evolution in FM skills will be necessary over the next decade with a move towards 'workplace managers' who would demonstrate a far greater emphasis on the softer skills.
