Multi-site FM leadership is a different job from running one building. This guide shows how to segment the portfolio into tiers instead of averaging it, set standards that travel, structure local leadership and span of control, run one compliance register with real assurance, rationalise suppliers without creating dependency, and use visits and a few good measures to stay in touch.
Leading a Multi-Site FM Portfolio is for leaders responsible for FM across many buildings, regions or tenants, where the job shifts from fixing problems on site to building a system that works without you being there.
The guide covers how to prioritise attention, keep standards consistent and avoid the risks that grow in the gaps between sites.
