Managing Better in the Public Sector                                     

Nextera and Infor have come together to provide a unique and innovative solution for Public Sector management.  We have combined world class experience with proven and innovative technologies of Infor to gives Public Sector management the assurance that government policy is reflected down through a department and that all resources are aligned to achieving the planned Outcomes.

We will increase both the effectiveness and efficiency of achieving government policy.  Moreover our experience in many jurisdictions and the framework and tools we use mean that we can implement improvements more quickly and more cost effectively than ever before.

The benefits for you with our approach are significant

• Policy is implemented

• Scarce resources used effectively in line with Policy

• Improved staff skills

• Reduced risk

To be the best you need to manage like the best

Most public sector departments or agencies have similar challenges

• Translating policy into a coherent set of responses and actions

• Effectively  allocating the key resources of finance and people to deliver the priorities

• Ensuring that the budget reflects the allocation to priorities

• Efficiently and accurately Measuring the delivery of the department as a whole or in teams or individually to ensure that remedial action can be taken

• Building internal capacity to meet world class standards.

Failure to addressing these issues is essential if government is to deliver its policies

• Resources are not optimised
• Re-prioritisation becomes arbitrary jeopardising policy delivery
• The risk of not meeting goals is dramatically increased. 

The best public sector departments have

• Implemented frameworks and used modern tools to ensure continual alignment of all their resources to achieve success.
• Defined their outcomes in detailed terms
• Aligned the outputs required as the best response to the outcomes
• Aligned all their resources to the agreed outputs
• Structured the organisation around the Output delivery
• Sensibly measured performance to ensure a quick and efficient decision cycle to confirm or take remedial actions.

An easy start

Each department faces different challenges and our approach has to reflect the differences in size, complexity, culture and history.  The stress points will be different in each department.  We understand this and so we have developed an ‘entry level’ solution to allow you to:

• Develop your strategy implementation framework
• Assess the benefits
• Measure the risks
• Finalise the costs
• Get ‘buy-in’

A fixed price

In today’s difficult economic environment it would be wrong not to address the cost issue right up front.  This is how we have tackled this issue:

• Our ‘easy start’ package is fixed price.  It lasts 4 weeks and is the first part of a full engagement.  So time and money spent here is not wasted
• We have a ‘typical’ department model and if you fit that model perfectly we can again offer you a fixed price.  But we know some departments are les complex and others more complex.  As part of our ‘easy start’ or initial planning we use our ‘complexity assessment’ tool to understand you better and allow you to also understand the stress points in your department.
• Using this tool we can calibrate the issues and again after four weeks we are able to offer you a fixed price through to completion.
