I always believe that leadership is within oneself. It is the matter of time and types of exposure or learning to awaken the leader within. Speaking of which, leadership and management course offered by IFMA-FMS has structurally designed in a way to wake the leader in me. In one sentence “It provides relevant leadership skills of a successful manager from Planning to organizing, administering and delivery”.  The course covers beyond and not only the scope of facilities, but it shown some lights for me to apply the skills of a leader for both my personnel and work life.   

Dr Gan, in my opinion, is a man whom teaching techniques makes me think out of the box. Many a time, ppl always make blunt mistake due to hasty decisions without much thinking or consideration on the consequences. After hearing from him, to be a success leader, these are no compromise. Not to mentioned there are less activities this time around, yet it is still an essential course, a must attend for all facility manager so that the leadership within oneself can be awaken.

I found that Dr Gan's workshop was very insightful. His delivery was structured and clearly presented. The content he offered was forward looking and relevant.

The classes presented by FMS provide the added value of hands-on learning / games / local content.

Unique to Dr Gan's class - amongst the 3 I've attended: is his regular call for student opinion on what we think with respect to a each. This affirms the importance of our own participation and stimulates us to think and reflect thereby internalising the rationales he expounds, rather than simply take notes or commit to memory.

Steven’s presentations are well planned and delivered. Steven’s enthusiasm for developing the field of facility management in Singapore contributes to a dynamic and interesting seminar. He actively engages individuals throughout the seminar enabling an open exchange of experiences and information amongst participants.

In deed the course does create an important insight on the critical of Planning and Project Management. 

The course has gave me the insight of the significant of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), to make sure the important items are all covered and to identify the key member’s responsibilities is clearly spelled out.  I will definitely sign up for the rest of the modules to earn or giving myself a chance to become a FMP or even the CFM certifications.

As for the facilitator, I believe each facilitators would have their own methods to carry out the message. Having say that, Mr. Steven style of presentation is acceptable for me. At least, I’ve been paying attention for the whole 2 days duration. His eye contacts was pressuring me and as if is making sure that I deeply understand the topics J (a compliments). both listener and presenter sensitivity is important in order to making sure that the message is well delivered and accepted by both.  Saying of which, Mr. Steven has successfully carry it out, at least for me.   

Overall, I would rate this course as a must attend for all the facilities managers.

Through years of academic contacts via various practitional, I find him different from others 

1. Ablilty to kick-start the 2 way communication  
2. Abundance method of presentation – eg, pasting paper on wall….     

With the above, I will always be glad to be another candidate to attend workshop / “lecture” shared by him.

I could see Steven has put in a lot of effort to drive the whole book of info and his personal wealth of experience with great illustrations in the short 2-day course.

Time, cost, quality process, people, place, technology, and SS satisfaction determine success/ failure of PM. Other important topics such as building contract and standards and PM codes for tender, construction PM, space planning, relocation planning, aligning FM mission with coporate mission & strategies etc. has been delivered sucessfully. This course ascertain the relevance of FM in Planning and Project Management. 

I believe Steven will do better as he handles more participants in future. I would recommend my team leaders (even MA) to attend the course to help foster a stronger network of FM professionals and help position them to tackle new problems with collective knowledge, wearing the management's hat.
