The Power of Partnership in State and Local Governments Facilities Management

In an era when state and local governments are under increasing pressure to maintain and enhance their facilities, choosing the right partner becomes paramount. Gordian commissioned Forrester Consulting to explore the facilities related challenges state and local governments face and the role of partners in overcoming these hurdles.

In surveying 215 facilities planning and management leaders, we found that while leaders strive to update and differentiate the facilities their communities rely on daily, they lack the resources to build the case for and fully fund the projects that would most significantly move the needle. They see strategic partners as having a key role in helping them plan, procure and optimize facilities — in a cost-effective way.
