Reform - The journey so far • Ministerial announcement – March 2008 • PwC Economic Appraisal – October 2009 • Local Government Response & Proposals for Improvement, Collaboration & Efficiency (ICE) • Reform Programme stalled – June 2010 • Programme for Government 2011-15 • 11 new councils by April 2015 • Two significant change programmes – RPA & ICE
Reform - Where are we now? • Local Government Reform Programme • Focused on 2015 and 11 new councils
ICE – The journey so far • 2009 - A programme to identify, share and implement opportunities for improvement, collaboration and efficiency across LG • 2010 - The “Case for Change” led by the sector • 2011 -Establishment of Governance arrangements and 5 ICE Workstreams • 2011 -All 26 Councils signed up to RGG and ICE Principles • Supporting change on a transformational scale through service redesign at regional, sub-regional and local levels • Underpinned by Invest to Save Business Model – savings already delivered
ICE Moving Forward • Funding for LG Reform? • Service Redesign through Service Review and Improvement (SRI) Process • Alignment with Reform Programme via Systems Convergence • Good start made – lots more to do • Focus on the objective of achieving sector led transformational change through service redesign
Integration of ICE with LG Reform Programme • Inter-related yet distinct • Different objectives and timescales affecting priorities • Important to work together to ensure alignment and avoid duplication • Aligning systems convergence with service redesign • Limited resources may impact on what is achievable, at least in the short term
Challenges • Energising and motivating our people – long stop/start history of reform/change • Communication • Increasing workloads, fewer resources • Difficult economic climate • Customer and ratepayer expectations • STRONG LEADERSHIP
