Business Dashboards for Local Government

JOINED UP SERVICES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT - RESOLVING DATA MANAGEMENT ISSUES
TURN INFORMATION INTO INTELLIGENCE TO HELP MANAGE LOCAL GOVERNMENT MORE EFFECTIVELY

Hot Issues that are relevant to local and regional government organisations - We explore the pressing topics where authorities see that a difference can be made to organisations to perform better in the future, deliver efficiencies and meet their requirements such as:

  • The need for Business Intelligence (BI)
  • Converting to IFRS accounting standards
  • Efficiency in Local Government
  • Reducing your employment costs
  • Realise the full benefits of shared services
  • Erroneous payments
  • Medium Term Financial Planning (MTFP)

Data issues are shared in all areas of public sector. It’s easy to collect facts and figures, but how do you set that data free to see the rewards of competitive advantage and improved efficiency? A recent Gartner study (2005 - 2009) showed the top business and IT priorities.

 

The need for Business Intelligance (BI) in the Government sector is significant, urgent, and has the potential to dramatically impact service delivery. Turning the wealth of information and data held within public sector bodies into something more meaningful and useable can be the difference between growth and stagnation, favourable public opinion and dissatisfaction.

Efficiency in Local Government - There is no doubt that all councils currently face intense pressure. Amidst a challenging fiscal environment, many face the arduous task of meeting growing demand for services whilst realising efficiency savings that ensure medium to long-term stability.

Reducing your employment costs
- It is estimated that approximately one quarter of all public expenditure is used to pay the wages of public sector employees.  Use of Resources - Facing a scenario of reduced grants and income, amidst the backdrop of economic uncertainty authorities will need to reinvigorate their option appraisal exercises.

Realise the full benefits of shared services - With the current pressure on public sector finances, increasing numbers of public bodies are looking for more efficient ways of providing services to taxpayers.

Erroneous payments - Local authorities were estimated to spend almost £166 billion in 2008. Statistics around the prevalence of duplicate payments vary widely.

Medium Term Financial Planning (MTFP) - Local authorities are facing significant cost pressures over a range of services and these cost pressures will intensify in the future.  IFRS conversion process - Local Government accounts for the year ended 31 March 2011 will be prepared under IFRS which will mean significant changes to your accounts.
