The purpose of this international survey is to solicit your input regarding research topics of interest to facility managers. The survey is expected to take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and is organized into three parts:

1. The first asks you to rate, in terms of importance, 15 FM-related categories being considered.

2. The second part asks you to rate specific topics for each of the 15 categories.

3. The third asks you questions about yourself and your organization. If you complete this part, we will send you a summary of the results.

The survey results will be used by the IFMA Foundation (www.ifmafoundation.org) to rank the production of its educational white papers and by FMLink (www.fmlink.com) to help prioritize content of its web site.

We thank you for your participation.

This survey is being sponsored by ABM Industries (www.abm.com), one of the world's leading facility service contractors, and Planon (www.planonIWMS.com), a global developer of a comprehensive IWMS system.
