The introduction of the Critical Entities Resilience Act (Wwke) marks a significant turning point for organizations and, consequently, for facility management. While the legislation is often initially approached as an obligation with associated risks, it simultaneously offers opportunities to professionalize processes and steer more strategically. In this lecture, Jan Willem Koot explores how facility management can make the shift from reactive action to proactive control.
The Wwke directly impacts the daily practice of the facilities professional: from building management and contract management to sustainability and compliance. New requirements force organizations to take a closer look at their burdens, responsibilities, and collaboration chains. This calls for insight, structure, and, above all, a clear direction. How can we ensure not only compliance with regulations but also leveraging them for improvement?
During this session, the speaker addresses the key impact areas of the Wwke and translates these into concrete courses of action. He discusses how to gain insight into risks, set priorities, and effectively involve all stakeholders. The emphasis is on creating control: insight into data, clear governance, and smart choices regarding outsourcing and contracts.
Visitors go home with practical insights to no longer view the Wwke as an external pressure, but as an opportunity to strengthen the role of facility management. Moving together from risk to control.
