Efficiency Improvement

PML has developed a rigorous Efficiency Assessment Tool to help assess the ‘value’ you get from your in-house functions and teams.

This powerful tool will help you identify areas of strength and weakness assessing your efficiency and ultimately help you determine the value of your current operation or need for change.

We have worked with many Local Authorities and housing organisations, supporting them in making the changes needed to improve their overall service delivery across a variety of functions. Providing the catalyst for a raft of service modernisation activities, we work with you to help your teams and functions to achieve more and help you demonstrate their true value.

Helping to improve and build on the skills of your in-house teams, we can provide an ‘independent’ eye that can help you prioritise your approach, provide ideas and adopt new working practices that we know work and are tailored to your organisations needs. We don’t believe in a ‘one size, fits all’ approach.

We know in the current climate that structures will be reviewed and staff will be required to take on new and additional responsibilities. We can help you identify skills gaps, ‘upskill your staff and coach them through the change process. We can also identify the system, process and governance improvements required and demonstrate the required scrutiny in the deployment of your resources and management of budgets.

Where can we help?

PML has extensive experience in working with Local Authorities and housing organisations  specifically in relation to:

• Assessment Tool – How Efficient are You?
• Strategic Advice & Support
• Programme, Project & Change Management
• Performance Management
• Skills Assessment and Gap Analysis
• Training, Coaching & Mentoring
• Process Design
• Organisational Design

Working alongside your teams we can help you to deliver the improvements and changes you need and help you realise year on year improvements within your available budgets.

We can also help you develop new business and secure additional work to support your core business interests.

Where do you benefit?

Our Efficiency Assessment Tool will provide you with a unique insight into your organisation, how you are performing and the areas where you most need to improve.

We can help you differentiate yourselves so that you meet the unique requirements of your customers. This will ensure that you continue to receive ‘political’ support locally and that you meet both current and future needs. We can also help you to change attitudes to create the innovation needed to succeed in the long term. Ultimately, we can help you to develop proposals and working methods that protect front line services and deliver affordable, cost effective projects.
