Mobile and flexible working offers public and independent sector organisations considerable benefits. Properly implemented, it can generate efficiency savings, bring an organisation closer to its customers and improve service, dramatically cut estate and infrastructure costs and create a more attractive work-life balance for staff.
However, it also throws up challenges. Mobile and flexible working can work against common information management standards across the organisation. There are significant security concerns, and the unplanned adoption of particular technology solutions by different departments may represent a step backwards. Success depends on taking a strategic and holistic approach which recognises the organisational, cultural and technical challenges in order to maximise the transformational benefits.
Socitm Consulting can help your organisation implement mobile and flexible working efficiently and successfully. We can advise on new mobile technology use and appropriate suppliers. We can produce business plans, cost /benefit analyses, risk assessments and business continuity plans. We can help to manage the transformation to new management practices and the change of culture required.
