Ep. 161: "Open Dialog" – Discovering Technology Solutions and AI Tools in the Asset and Facility Management Industry with Joseph Aamidor of Aamidor Consulting

Joseph Aamidor is Senior Product Management Consultant and Managing Director at Aamidor Consulting where he provides market strategy guidance to building owners and operators, established building management firms, technology providers, investors, and early-stage innovators. Mike Petrusky asks Joe about the state of the facilities management industry and why it is experiencing fragmentation in available technology solutions, making it challenging to choose the right tools. They explore how the industry is in a trial and error phase with AI and discuss ways that asset management leaders can focus on continuous learning and understanding the broader mission of their organizations to enhance the built environment and occupant experience. Joe believes that open dialogue and informal peer groups are valuable for experimenting with and improving new solutions and providing feedback to vendors is crucial for the development of better products and the health of the industry. Mike and Joe agree that data readiness, including organization and normalization, is a significant challenge for organizations looking to implement AI solutions, so they offer advice and inspiration to help you be an Asset Champion!
