Government and public sector policy development, advice
and review
The challenges of developing new government policy, and of
making changes to existing policy, should not be
underestimated.
Policies need to support the objectives of the public sector
organisation, while also ensuring that they:
- reflect and take into account industry sentiment
- demonstrate strategic fit within both the government and the
organisation
- consider all the associated activities, programmes and projects
required to deliver these goals.
We help public sector organisations to develop sound and robust
policies.
Supporting your policy development and review
We develop and assess potential policy options against a range
of criteria, including strategic fit, value for money,
affordability, cash flow, and the ability of industry to provide a
solution, and deliver it. This enables you to determine an optimal
way forward, and eventually to identify a preferred option. Through
collating and analysing data from a wide range of stakeholders we
also assess the performance of your current policies, so that
cost-effective changes can be developed and delivered, where they
are needed.
We will:
- help your organisation to identify its objectives, and the
relevant activities, programmes and projects required to deliver
them
- assess how your current policies are performing, and the
changes that could be made to improve performance
- help your organisation develop high quality technology policy
options to meet your objectives. We support business case formats
such as the Five Case Model, that
meet public sector guidelines such as the Green Book. Our deep
understanding of technology and its performance, ensures the
options developed are more robust when producing strategic and
economic cases
- provide value-for-money assessments based on net present value
(NPV), in order to help you select a preferred option
- deliver costed analyses that enable you to have high levels of
confidence in our recommendations, including yearly budget
forecasts to evaluate affordability of projects
- help you plan for successful implementation and benefits
realisation.
