Government Services Overview
 

Making the mark in information management and the administration of services
To determine the underlying benefits for operational efficiency and organizational effectiveness, the 11 initiatives were evaluated against eight Key Performance Indicators (see Figure 2). To aid this evaluation, the eight KPIs were segmented into four performance categories.

  • Information management: Promotes more effective and efficient data capture, storage, analysis and use to improve services and manage operations

  • Administer and deliver services: Reduces service delays and errors by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of internal administration and customer service processes

  • Employee development: Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of processes by helping employees to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively administer and deliver services

  • Financial improvement: Reduces operating and service delivery costs to meet economic and budget pressures concerning data, processes and people management.
