Programme of Change –
The Challenges We Need to Transform
•
The Performance Challenge
–
–
•
The Public Trust & Confidence Challenge
–
•
To transform how we lead; from the ‘board room’ to being ‘amongst the work
The Financial Challenge
–
•
To transform how we think and go about our business in a completely different way and ensure everyone
works to our shared Values
The Leadership Challenge
–
•
To Transform to the New Operating Model - we have 3 years to transform the shape of the Force
The Cultural Challenge
–
•
To be clear about what we deliver and to what quality standards
The Structural Challenge
–
•
We can’t serve without public trust
The Service Challenge
–
•
Delivering the Police & Crime Plan
Delivering a transformation in our standing with others; being 7th or 8th out of 8 in MSG is not good enough
for us
£88m in plans to identify all over the next 3-years is huge
The Waste & Bureaucracy Challenge
–
To transform our processes to strip out unnecessary steps & eliminate unnecessary whole processes
Achievements to date
• By the end of 2014/15 delivered savings amounting to
£117m (£13m in advance)
• Consistent in achieving underspends each financial year
• Created Reserves to fund Transformation and costs to
change
• Change in culture –
Improved performance
Reduced Costs
Focus on delivering improved outcomes
Finance & HR Transformation Objectives
• One view of the truth (eg Common FTE and headcount
figures)
• Capture Information once (eg sickness, transfers)
• Improved reporting across Finance, HR, Duties (eg unit
costs)
• Self Service (seek information & input)
• Use mobile devices
• Streamline processes, automate, reduced costs
• Ability to support & develop ourselves (not supplier for
every change)
• Common methodology for interfaces to ease updating
Options / Ideas
We are seeking your ideas on the way forward to
achieve our objectives.
