Implementing McClelland - An Innovative Approach to Delivering Efficiency Through Collaboration

Date: 1st February 2008

Location: Stirling

The Scottish Public Sector is facing the toughest financial climate for many years and local authorities will need to find new approaches to delivering greater efficiency. Relying on the tried and tested will no longer be an option for many, but where should local authorities go to get the right knowledge to help them prepare for this step change?

An essential starting place is this free, half-day seminar which brings together some of the leading thinkers, analysts and practitioners on public sector efficiency.

By attending, you will:

  • Understand the business case for investing in procurement and wider efficiency measures
  • Learn how you can use market intelligence to manage costs and risk in Adult Social Care, one of the largest areas of local authority spend
  • Learn from the English experience, the mistakes made and the opportunities to accelerate progress in Scotland
  • Find out more about some of the off-the-shelf solutions specially designed to help fast track greater efficiency and hear how others are tackling their efficiency challenges

The event will also feature the launch of the white paper, Implementing McClelland - Learning from the Byatt Experience, by Ken Cole who is just finishing a three year secondment from SPS as Director of the London Regional Centre of Excellence. Ken is an acknowledged expert in driving forward collaborative working and managing efficiency projects. He is currently working with chief officers at Stirling Council on delivering efficiency gains and has also developed the business case for establishing a procurement function at Clackmannanshire Council. Not to be missed.
