FM Perspectives – Public Sector #124

Public sector facilities management has not measurably improved for decades.

The reason is simple.  Lack of organizational development readiness.

Despite the availability of integrated, collaborative, and robust frameworks that enable Planning, Procurement, and Project Delivery teams to performs at signinficant higher levels with respect to cost visibility, cost management, quality, and speed, public sector FM suffers from an endemic lack of accountable, capable leadership.

Mired in barriers to improvement, largely reinforced by leaderships inability or lack of interest in change, the public sector FM remains highly wasteful from both environmental and economic perspectives.

Technology will NOT solve the problem.

The real question is what disruptive event(s) will force measureable improvement?
