🚨 Dec 2023 - Almost one in five council leaders and chief executives in England surveyed by the Local Government Association think it is very or fairly likely that their CFO will need to issue a Section 114 notice this year or next due to a lack of funding to keep key services running . . . . . . . . . and the worst is still to come . . . . 26 councils are estimated to be at risk of bankruptcy in the next two years. If councils cannot thrive then our communities cannot thrive. If social care services that councils provide cannot cope with demand, then pressure on the NHS will grow further. If council housing teams can’t succeed, then all of our hopes for new homes will not succeed.While councils have worked hard to reduce costs, find efficiencies and transform services, the easy savings have long since gone. The Government urgently needs to act to address the acute financial challenges faced by councils.No longer can we be content with running Governments as we have in the past. If we are to succeed in providing our citizens with the best, they so rightly deserve, our Governments have to become the best at delivering. 🔍 That’s why I help Governments re-engineer their processes and bring Enterprise level excellence into Governments. My Enterprise-Government model is modelled on best practices gathered from around the world and from a diverse industry sector. A winning formula means:- consistently high level of service offered;- at great value for tax-payer money;- setting the trajectory for future services on a growing scale.I offer the following RESULTS:- better resource utilisation- higher quality of service delivery- lower per-unit cost of service delivery When every local council becomes efficient, the whole country becomes efficient.Here are some of the clients I have worked with: Government of Dubai, Government of Abu Dhabi, Government of Saudi Arabia, Government of Kuwait, Government of Qatar.
