LISTEN: Revolutionizing Building Management with Ken Burkhalter

Building Management is going through a revolution. On this episode of the Building Management podcast, we catch up with Ken Burkhalter of RAND Building Management as we discover how technology is evolving to inspire a younger generation of building managers with focused ideas. Their insight into this fledgling profession is evolving the industry with fresh takes on old issues.

Discover the advantages of working with smaller, agile teams, and how leadership is emerging within the community. Ken takes us step by step through the importance of rehearsed disaster preparedness plans, and which prepared teams are more adept at dealing with stressful situations in meaningful ways. We’ll unpack which organizations are best equipped to handle disaster situations through the use of effective space design, and why defying industry trends in favor of thoughtful design is important to remember when designing a space.
