Challenges Facing Governments and Public Service Organisations

• Economic challenges:  at the heart of any government or public service is the need to provide cost effective delivery, alongside reliability, sustainability and quality of service.  Local, national and international institutions require effective planning, cohesion and innovative policy making in order to deliver on public service promises and citizen expectation.  However with widespread revenue shortfall, this is proving to be a complex task.  

• Increased demand for service:  despite large scale public spending cuts across the globe, public service organisations are facing increased demand.  For example, rising unemployment, greater reliance on benefits and ageing populations requiring more from health care services.  The challenge is to find a way to achieve more with less.  

•  Large scale restructuring:  with the huge financial pressure faced so many public bodies,  now is the time for major restructuring of the way services are provided.  Inevitably such dramatic change brings a downturn in employee morale, which can often affect performance levels.   With such a huge investment in people, the challenge is how to get the best out of your workforce, drive maximum performance and maintain service delivery in the face of such financial difficulties and organisational change.
