Facilities leadership demands proactive vendor audits and intentional communication

Wagoner argues that great customer partnerships depend on deliberate, structured communication rather than mere responsiveness, and that facilities directors must use natural calendar inflection points to audit and upgrade their vendor relationships. He believes that July presents a strategic window for facilities leaders to evaluate emergency response vendors and maintenance protocols when budgets are mid-cycle and weather risk is elevated.
