Yet the facilities that organisations occupy are static and can impede the changes that are essential to organisational survival. The response to change in terms of property and support services is often too little too late - leading to facilities that do not support organisational reality. The facilities management team is thus constantly challenged to bridge the gap between what an organisation has and what it needs.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFacilities Change Management\u003c\/i\u003e is a practical evaluation of the management of change for facilities managers and related professions.
