Positioning for future headwinds: a new era of working with governments

Over the past three decades, global and national economies have undergone profound transition while the governments that have tried to steer worldwide growth have been buffeted by profound changes in how citizens interact and feel about the level of services they receive.  That many of them are more empowered than ever by social media, which is often said to have hastened the growth of significant divides, speaks to the need of many governmental leader to stay in touch with prevailing thoughts and aspirations of citizens.  

These changes have fundamentally resculpted how government operates and, as we move toward new global alliances and economic pressures, old ways of doing business with government will need to change.  And, more importantly, the geospatial community will need to know how to navigate and advocate for both its collective priorities as well as for individual firm opportunities and funding.
