Facility Management in Public-Private Partnerships: Then, Now and Ahead
Thursday, July 17, 2025 | 11:00AM ET | 8:00 AM PT | 15:00 UTC
What you can expect from this webinar:
Public-private partnerships (P3s) are diversifying and advancing in strategy, finance and operations and maintenance (O&M). These models are evolving rapidly, adopting and adapting financial and facility planning practices that decisively lower project costs and development timelines while improving outcomes. This success is fueling new P3 initiatives not only in developed nations and regions, but also for smaller-scale projects in locations that were previously not feasible.
Facility management should be involved throughout the P3 process to support long-term performance — from initial planning through the eventual transfer of ownership back to the public entity. Some projects have already reached this transition point, with more on the way. Without proper incentives for the operating authority, the public agency may inherit facilities burdened with deferred maintenance and unresolved issues.
Specifically, you will takeaway:
-
Understand the P3 Model and Life Cycle: Explore how public-private partnerships function from planning to handover, and why lifecycle awareness is critical to long-term performance.
-
Define the Role of P3 Professionals: Learn who P3 professionals are and how their work intersects with facility management across all project phases.
-
Prepare for Project Reversion: Examine what happens when a P3 facility returns to public ownership — and why FM involvement is essential to mitigate deferred maintenance and risk.
-
Evaluate P3 Performance: Analyze when, where and why P3s have succeeded or underperformed, and what lessons facility managers can apply to future initiatives.
-
Track Emerging Trends and Opportunities: Discover how shifting public expectations, policy, funding models, technology and FM competencies are reshaping engagement in P3s.
