INPACT for Collaboration and Shared Services
Why use INPACT
to plan your Collaboration or Shared Services?
Because it can mean the difference between success and failure, that's why!
The public sector is under pressure to develop collaborative working and shared services provision in response to the need for more efficient use of scarce resources and better co-ordination between services.
However such a move is extremely challenging, to even the best managed organisations. A key consideration is whether the culture and process capability of each of the partner organisations is sufficiently mature to accommodate the transition and operation of an effective collaboration or shared service.
Collaborative working and shared services provision requires:
- Clarity of purpose and agreement on roles and responsibilities
- Trust and leadership
- The right skills
- Well-implemented systems and processes
- Effective governance
- Sufficient resources
- Performance measures
- A mature, can-do, continuous improvement culture.
The transition needs to be well planned and very well managed if it is to avoid:
- Conflict and delays in rolling out the new systems and processes
- Significant time and financial costs
- Failure to achieve the desired benefits
- Increased complexity of decision making, confusion over organisational identity and problems of lack of accountability and transparency
- Loss of local control and flexibility to deliver excellent quality of service
Imaginist has the tools and experience to deal with these issues. Our transformation project methodology, INPACT, is an integrated approach that takes account of process and culture issues and barriers to successful implementation.
