Shawn Morgal is Vice President of Facilities Management and Operations & Maintenance at The Building People where he is proudly serving multiple federal and local government agencies in support of the FM and O&M business lines. Mike Petrusky asks Shawn about his career journey and current perspectives on the state of the facility and asset management industries. They discuss the federal government’s focus on savings and reduction efforts and the need for effective life cycle asset management planning and customer alignment in facilities management. The integration of BIM models and digital twins in the construction and operations phases can significantly improve the reliability and efficiency of facility management, so Shawn stresses the importance of involving end users, such as skilled trades technicians, in the adoption of new technologies to ensure success. Mike and Shawn share inspiration from music and their experiences at the Capital Chapter of IFMA while offering you the encouragement you need to be an Asset Champion in your organization!
