Federal Survey Results: 6 Key Challenges to Adopting Shared Services & How to Overcome Them
The Federal IT Shared Services Strategy requires that federal agencies first look at existing systems and services before considering new IT investments, but many are having difficulty with the transformation. In a recent Government Business Council survey of 300 federal managers, just 44 percent of respondents indicated that their agencies are really “shared-first.” Identifying which services should be moved to a shared model and finding existing providers are among the top challenges facing today’s federal leaders.
Agencies are now required to identify and move particular services to shared models. But many agencies are having difficulty making the transition.
In this special research report, Government Business Council (GBC) digs deep into responses from over 300 agency managers to identify the biggest challenges in adopting shared service models and how some agencies are overcoming them.
