Collaborative Working and Shared Services

in the public sector

The public sector is under pressure to develop collaborative working and shared services provision in response to the need for more efficient use of scarce resources and better co-ordination between services. However such a move is extremely challenging, to even the best managed organisations, not only in terms of the level of process re-engineering needed, but particularly for service delivery managers and staff facing loss of autonomy, uncertainty and disruption.

Collaborative working and shared services provision requires:

  • Clarity of purpose and agreement on roles and responsibilities
  • Trust and leadership
  • The right skills
  • Well-implemented systems and processes
  • Effective governance
  • Sufficient resources
  • Performance measures
  • A mature, can-do, continuous improvement culture.

The transition needs to be well planned and very well managed if it is to avoid:

  • Conflict and delays in rolling out the new systems and processes
  • Significant time and financial costs
  • Failure to achieve the desired benefits
  • Increased complexity of decision making, confusion over organisational identity and problems of lack of accountability and transparency
  • Loss of local control and flexibility to deliver excellent quality of service.

Imaginist has the tools and experience to deal with these issues.

Its transformation project methodology, INPACT, is an integrated approach that takes account of process and culture issues and barriers to successful implementation.
