Is your ICT service providing Best Value? Whether the service is provided in-house or outsourced, an objective external review by experts will confirm whether or not it is efficient, effective and – above all – meeting your organisation's strategic objectives.
Socitm Consulting has extensive experience of delivering Best Value reviews of public sector ICT services. Our reviews take into account the additional demands of the efficiency and transformation agendas, looking 'outside the box' and examining – where appropriate – the potential benefits of shared services, private sector partnerships and internal restructuring.
Our consultants will tailor the review to your specific requirements, while ensuring that the key elements of best practice are followed; namely:
- Consult all stakeholders
- Compare performance with other organisations
- Challenge the way the service is being delivered
- Recommend the introduction of competition where appropriate
Our Best Value reviews are informed by the unique database of comparative performance information obtained via the joint benchmarking service with Socitm Insight. This ensures that performance can be compared with peer organisations and top-performers, by consultants who have the necessary experience and expertise to balance this with understanding of local strategy and circumstances.
If required, we can assist further by developing action plans, carrying out sourcing options appraisals and project managing service improvement programmes.
