Relationship Economics emphasizes the strategic importance of building and nurturing relationships as crucial assets in leadership and business success. The ideas captured in the book by the same name, now in its 3rd edition (Wiley), provide a framework that encourages leaders to view relationships as social connections and critical investments that drive growth, innovation, and influence. Together, we’ll explore how you can leverage relationships to create value, accelerate your personal and organizational development, and expand your network. You can enhance collaboration across diverse teams and cultures by focusing on purposeful, high-impact relationship-building, fostering a more connected, agile, and successful organization in today’s dynamic business landscape. Welcome to Relationship Economics.

2025 has taken off with great excitement and broad-based investments across a broad spectrum of organization sizes, geographies, and FM sectors. So, what are astute leaders observing, how are expectations of both current and prospective leaders evolving, and what are the big trends in leadership you need to be aware of?

 

Eric Mccarthey is a former senior executive at Coca-Cola. James Mylett is the new CEO at Smart Care. Previously, he was SVP of U.S. Digital Buildings at Schneider Electric.

During this roundtable discussion, we’ll explore the impact of artificial intelligence on operations, efficiency, and the future of the workforce. This interactive session will dive into how AI-driven technologies are transforming maintenance, energy management, and customer experiences while addressing challenges like job displacement and ethical concerns.
