Executive Summary
The worldwide facilities management (FM) outsourcing market is expected to grow from $959.2 billion in 2012 to $1.314 trillion in 2018 (ISS estimates based on third party data, (ISS A/S Prospectus, March 2014)). Growth is evident across all markets, from North America and Europe to Latin America and Asia Pacific.

(Redlein, Redlein, Soborg, & Poglitsch, 2014). To this end, FM suppliers are having to evolve from service providers to strategic partners.
These changing demands require a new way of thinking about the delivery
