FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
VIVO Defence Services has partnered with upskilling platform Multiverse to provide its employees data and AI apprenticeships.
The facilities management company is seeking to improve the skills of its employees in data analytics, AI, and predictive modelling to help future proof its workforce and meet the increasing and changing needs of the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
As one of the largest providers of estate services to the MOD, the data VIVO collects is very important to it. This partnership with Multiverse will enable VIVO’s staff to fully explore and utilise the insight this data provides.
The training programmes include ‘Data and Insights for Business Decisions’ and ‘AI for Business Value’, designed to develop the technical skills required to utilise data and AI. This will enable the apprentices to make more informed operational business decisions.
This will inevitably play a part in ensuring VIVO has the resources in place to provide the best service possible for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and carry out its important work for many years.
Paul Roberts, VIVO’s Energy & Sustainability Director and Innovation Champion, said: “The data we collect across our organisation is a strategic asset that provides us with real-time insights into the work we do. Further enhancing the way we use this data and AI to influence our operational business decisions will benefit our customer – the UK military.
“This is all about our mission to improve the lived experience for service personnel and to play our part in enhancing the UK’s defence capability.”
Gary Eimerman, Chief Learning Officer at Multiverse, added: “VIVO Defence Services is demonstrating a clear commitment to its people and its mission by investing in these critical skills.
“By training its team in data and AI, it is not just future proofing its workforce: it is directly enhancing its ability to serve the UK military and make a real-world impact. We are incredibly proud to partner with them on this journey.”
The way we work has changed – yet, many organisations are still relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all tools to manage desks and meeting rooms, according to a new study from workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking.
Spreadsheets, calendars, and generic booking software may have worked once, but they’re struggling to keep pace with today’s flexible, hybrid workforce. The result? Wasted time, frustrated employees, and expensive underutilised space.
Matrix Booking’s new study, ‘One-size-fits-all booking systems don’t work for today’s workforce’, explores why current systems are falling short – and how organisations can reimagine workspace management to boost efficiency, employee experience, and cost savings.
