Editor's Notes
Our world is changing and changing faster than we have ever known before, in the ways we consume everyday products and service.Whether we work in the public or private sector Customers have increased expectations for service delivery, both within the private and public sectors alike.Like any customer-focused organisation, local authorities have been striving to provide efficient, fast, online services, that are accessible on a 24/7 basis,
It is hard to escape the constant speculation about Public Sector Spending and the implications for Local Government What is a ‘Perfect Storm’? ‘The simultaneous incidence of events, the combination of which amplifies the overall impact to extreme levels.’Financial Pressures- Impact of the recession, and the resulting public sector budget deficit.- Public spending could be cut back for several years: possibly up to 10 yrs? - Public funding settlements from 2011-12- Zero grant increases for many councils? Possible reductions of 15- 20%, or more?Demographic PressuresIncreased demand for social care servicesRising Demand for Services- About a quarter of councils report increases in demand for care for elderly people. A third are already dealing with increases in homelessness.- One in ten councils have seen higher demand for state school places for children that were previously educated privately. Crunch Time Audit Commission survey of English Council Finance Directors found: 78% reporting a decrease in council income for 2009 Councils have been hit hard by increases in fuel bills; for example, the cost of lighting the streets is up 40 per cent in a year. Four-fifths of councils say development activity has fallen; half have had reduced income from deals with developers. Councils with deposits in Icelandic banks are particularly concerned about the increased risks associated with investments.Local Government Pensions£35B black holeWe recognise these are challenging times and we believe we can help and offer you Do More with Less“Doing more with less is exactly what the public expects of us all during the downturn” John Healey
Prudent management of resources and value for money is now more than ever a important consideration for local authorities. However adopt GIS and the geographic approach has many benefits in terms of ensuring the council provides good value for money in undertaking its activities and delivering services to the community.Where is the demand for council services?How to I optimise the deployment of my resources?What might the demand be in the future? – Customer Insight
SOCITM Insight's report on website take-up and channel benchmarking has some interesting results."Councils must recognise that self-service is an important means to providing services at much lower cost.""Channel shift will only work if websites work right first and every time.""Channel costs - cost per transactionFace-to-face £823Telephone £3.21Website £0.39A shift from face-to-face to websites creates a 95% cost saving.4.4 million, or 42% of those surveyed, reported that they are not finding, or partly finding the information they are looking for on a council website. This can result in avoidable contact (NI14) as users have to try another channel to find the information they are seeking. Again costing the council additional money.
However web GIS is moving us into a new era, enabling councils to more effectively serve the citizen online. Offing more innovative ways of delivering public services online and of course more cost effectively.
Despite offering making services available online the majority of citizens still need to speak to the council directly, often via the council’s contact centre.In order to respond to customers enquiries as quickly and efficiently as possible it is essential that staff in the contact centre have the access to the relevant information. Whether it is dealing with enquiries about local services or amenities or dealing with a report about a missed bin or abandoned vehicle, GIS can enable improved customer service; increase productivity; and enable the council to deliver more with less. London Borough of Lambeth estimate they use GIS used to answer 40% of all calls. “GIS is helping us to establish a good reputation for the local council as being helpful, informative and customer friendly.”
