Shared Services

Life is about sharing – especially in the public sector, as it works to save cash, free staff to help citizens, improve services and generate better management information.

Every public sector organisation carries out similar administrative processes, such as HR, payroll, finance, accounting and procurement. These can be shared across departments, agencies, ministries and even entire governments, reducing maintenance costs and increasing efficiency.

We’ve helped public sector organisations across Europe through a process that can be technically and culturally daunting by using a framework based on confirmed best practices. It’s effectively a shared services roadmap that gives you a fast route to savings and greater productivity.

We’ve proved that the benefits are more than worthwhile. We’re saving European national governments hundreds of millions of euros but you don’t have to be a large organisation to profit. Wiltshire Council, a UK unitary authority set up in 2009, is already saving £5 million a year through shared services.

Or Barnsley Council, a UK authority with 7,500 employees that saves more than £2 million a year through a modest investment in our shared services and change management processes. We’ve got many more examples – just ask.

Whether you want to run shared services yourself or outsource them in whole or part, we’ll create a model that fits your unique circumstances. We’ll work together, from concept to delivery and help you achieve your vision. And that’s another way of saying life is about sharing.
