CENTRAL GOVERNMENT - Business & Technology 2010
Delivering Efficiency and Reform in the Civil Service through Leadership and Best Practice
Welcome to Central Government Business and Technology 2010 Conference - The 2nd Annual Conference and the UK’s only event to bridge the business gap between the Civil Service and the innovation and technology advances that are needed to deliver major reform and efficiency savings within the sector. With the election of a Conservative Government, this event has suddenly attained a poignant relevance within the economic downturn
Key Discussion Areas
- Equipping the Civil Service to meet future challenges by reshaping structures, strengthening performance management and putting innovation at the heart of government
- Rationalising and reforming arm's-length bodies (ALBs) to create a simpler, cheaper delivery structure, and improve the services ALBs are responsible for delivering
- Improving back office processes to the standard of the best to ensure that back office operations and procurement processes are as efficient as possible
- Managing assets more effectively, to release value from public sector assets and state-owned property with a more strategic approach to office location.
- Delivering the recommendations in the OEP that will deliver savings worth £9 billion a year by 2013/14
- Open, accountable public services through greater public scrutiny of the performance of the centre and more transparent working practices. For example, publishing the OEP benchmarking document with performance data for all departments and large ALBs
- Devolved decision making, through the centre focusing only on what it does best. For example, creating a shared service company to provide better value back office support, freeing up organisations to focus on frontline services
- Renewed focus on value for money by serving the country as cost efficiently as possible. For example, reducing the cost of the Senior Civil Service by £100 million - one step of our drive to create a sharper, leaner centre.
