Hidden Edge Club: Public Sector Insight Dinner
The public sector stand to save £16-33 billion per annum (Policy Exchange) if they can optimise performance, and yet sector-wide investment in providing the insight to drive operational efficiency is still remarkably low. With the recent Public Sector Efficiency Challenge making the headlines, all eyes are currently fixed on the government as it takes on its oxymoronic challenge – providing consistently better services, at ever decreasing cost.
There is already growing evidence of the power of intelligence for optimising public sector efficiencies. The British Army has been able to save and realign £770 million from an enhanced personnel distribution initiative, combining data on skills and capabilities of individuals into insight dashboards that helps to redistribute personnel for more effective management. This is merely the tip of the ice-berg, with HMRC expecting to see £7 billion return on their £917 million investment to tackle tax evasion.
And yet, most cost-cutting initiatives remain focused on finding short-term solutions.
So why aren’t we seeing more public sector investment in redefining long-term operational efficiencies?
This will be at the heart of the upcoming Hidden Edge Club round-table discussion, on the 13th October, on this occasion, exclusively welcoming the Public Sector, touching on such questions as:
- How can we harness insight to help drive performance optimisation and identify the right projects for future investment?
- Why has investment in long-term insight based solutions been so sporadic compared to the Private sector?
- What lessons can we learn from the successes and failings in this area of our Private sector counterparts?
As with all our events, discussion at our October dinner will be strategic, collaborative and confidential. in addressing how we can harness insight to help drive operational efficiency, and explore why the uptake has been slow compared to the Private sector.
We’ll be bringing together around 16 senior public sector professionals to look at what we can learn from our corporate counterparts and their mistakes and successes in this arena to determine best practice.
