Facility professionals can have key role in mergers

Facility directors should be positioned to thrive after the announcement of a merger or acquisition


Facility directors should be positioned to thrive after the announcement of a merger or acquisition and be better able to adapt to new procedures and standards, according to an article on the Heath Facilities Management website.

During periods of uncertainty after a merger or aquisition announcement, facility managers should step up to the plate, the article said.

For instance, when Geisinger Health System acquires a hospital or health system, it can take more than a year to bring the acquired organization’s information technology (IT) systems up to speed.

“Sometimes we’re a year or two down the road before we can roll out all of our programs, including our maintenance management systems, our building database systems, and our policies and procedures, because we don’t have the organization’s IT on our network yet,”  said Al Neuner, Geisinger's vice president of facilities operations.
