November 11, 2005—Johnson Controls, Inc., a global leader in building efficiency and facilities management has been awarded the H. Bruce Russell Global Innovator’s Award for its Solutions Navigator facility assessment and planning tool, the company has announced.
The assessment tool assists organizations with strategic facilities planning, explains Johnson Controls.
The Eighth Annual CoreNet Global Innovators Awards recognizes the industry’s most innovative practices in corporate real estate. Johnson Controls won the award in the “innovations by service providers” category.
Solutions Navigator is a specially designed “game board” assessment tool that provides a structured, interactive process for facility owners, real estate managers, and other key stakeholders to quickly assess and prioritize common facility related needs and practices.
“It’s fun and informative, and like nothing else out there,” says Richard Kadzis, director of special programs for CoreNet Global. The navigation sessions, which are facilitated by certified Johnson Controls consultants, help organizations address a wide range of challenges, from the design of new facilities to the improvement of existing infrastructure of the development of a facilities strategic plan.
Over the past two years, more than 1,000 persons representing hundreds of organizations around the world have used the tool. The data collected allow clients to benchmark their facilities and operations across departments, sites, or other organizations within their industry. The tool also provides data-driven recommendations for measuring and improving facility performance matched to the organization’s specific needs and priorities.
