Public sector challenges
Public sector organisations around the world face unprecedented pressure to improve service quality while progressively lowering their costs. At the same time, they are expected to become more accountable, customer focused and responsive to stakeholder needs.

In the UK the new coalition Government has embarked on an unprecedented public sector funding cull which is already resulting in wide scale change programmes, job losses, fear and anger amongst public sector workers.

Let’s not underestimate how challenging the current public sector management environment really is.

Prime Minister, David Cameron, dashing hopes that public sector funding levels would be restored once the budget deficit has been addressed, told an audience in Birmingham; "We are going to have to change the way we work," he said. "How can we do things differently and better to give value for money?"

That question has not yet been answered but what is clear is that the public sector is in for a fundamental shift.
