Public sector and Policing Reform

Reducing Bureaucracy In Policing

A report by the former Police Federation chairperson, Jan Berry, on 'Reducing Bureaucracy in Policing' recommends that 'All forces implement a "Systems thinking" sustainable business improvement model'.

Policing has never faced tougher challenges. The level of reform and transformation has driven the need to approach today’s challenges from a new and fresh perspective- try Ascot Barclay’s systems thinking as your solution.

Quality of Service Integrated with Performance Management

Things have changed and continue to change the old traditions that have formed the foundations of operational practice across the service are fast becoming redundant. Silo systems, disjointed departments, ineffective and inefficient processes and technologies all need reviewing from a ‘systems thinking’ holistic organisational wide perspective.

It’s time to turn things on their head and find new ways to deliver more, or at least the same, for less. Maintaining public confidence by pushing more of your budget out to where it matters- on the streets.

Without truly joined-up systems, processes, teams and the skills to deliver transformational change within the confines of a command & control organisational structure it feels like you are running hard to stand still.

We can help, by learning from our change and transformation business experience, our customers have been able to eliminate wasted effort, align expenditure with clearer organisational needs, improve the efficiency of organisational processes and the supporting technologies. They get more IT for less money. They focus their people on shared objectives and enjoy remarkable increases in productivity as they deliver continuous improvements in efficiency and quality.

More Policing With a Reduced Budget

Improve back office efficiency and you can put more police on the streets. As the need to support ineffective and outdated processes and systems diminishes officers are freed up to do what they do best where they are most needed. Sharing services between Forces and agencies is a proven way to save money, but it can be difficult to implement , not least is the challenge of aligning all parties to a single unified strategy that all support. As systems thinkers we know how to do this and we will train, coach & mentor your team to manage the change and the ongoing transformation to ensure success and local level ownership.

Our holistic framework approach

“We engaged a Change Programme Leader from the Ascot Barclay Group on a 12 month assignment to manage the transformation and user engagement aspects of an enterprise wide strategic Systems Integration programme. The fresh approach they offered made a significant contribution to the success of the entire programme.”
