‘Embedding the Changes'
Training

We recognise that it is you staff, managers and members that have to make the changes to the way you work that will lead to cost savings and efficiency improvements and, as well as a move to new systems and electronic processes, this also needs greater understanding of governance rules and commercial skills that may not be in place today.

As part of our involvement in supporting your modernisation programme, we will identify where the lack of knowledge and skills might become a barrier to successful roll-out and develop a structured training and skills transfer plan to include staff, management and members, as required.

We have found that if you just change the business processes and introduce the new technology using traditional communication programmes, take-up is poor and the desired benefits will not accrue. The Imaginist Evalue training takes staff, managers and members through an awareness and alignment process, allows them to become confident with the new concepts and explore the changes to their roles, while confirming their importance to the success of the change process.

The training is key to raising the capacity of your organisation to roll out the procurement performance improvements and realise the benefits. For example, a training programme for a small District might comprise:

• an initial half-day workshop for up to 15 people
• online delivery of 3 online self-teach modules (eg Procurement vs Buying, Understanding e- Procurement, Applying the Rules and Regulations)
• a final wrap-up half-day workshop.

The cost will obviously be dependent on the scale of the requirement and whether it is undertaken as part of a larger scale exercise across a number of authorities.
