Efficient Government 2005
13th October 2005, Radisson SAS Glasgow
'Efficient Government…the start of doing things differently.'
Building a Better Scotland clearly identifies 5 major workstreams where significant public service efficiencies are to be achieved –
- Procurement
- Managing Absence
- Asset Management
- Shared Support Services
- Streamlined Bureacracy
These workstreams will, by 2007-8, contribute additional savings beyond the £745 million of cash savings already identified.
'... a total of £1732 million (cumulative aggregate cash releasing savings) will be released for investment in improving our public services.'
Developing effective strategies to deliver these levels of savings, plus the £300 million a year cash equivalent savings in improved productive time, will clearly be crucial to all who are responsible for driving the required change within their organisation.
'We will seek assistance with this task from our most successful companies ... public and private sectors working together to improve the delivery of services to Scotland.' Tom McCabe MSP, Minister for Finance and Public Service Reform.
The 'Efficient Government – Making it happen' conference will bring together all those who are responsible for the successful delivery of a diverse range of projects which will ultimately result in a truly efficient Scottish public sector.
Covering a wide and diverse range of subjects, the conference and its allied exhibition will allow delegates to attend an informative plenary session and select 3 highly focussed and relevant, public and private sector led work sessions. Of equal value is the opportunity to network with their peers from across all areas of Scottish public service and the chance to view exhibition stands from the cream of private sector consultants, advisors and service providers.
