OTHER INETWORK ACTIVITY
iNetwork Digital Conference 2015: Digital inclusion, Care and Welfare
ON the 22 June 2015, all roads lead to the iNetwork Digital Conference 2015: Digital inclusion, care and welfare.
Digital public services is currently a hot topic for all local public service providers. Channel shift and digital delivery promises to be more efficient, effective and cheaper. Indeed, for processes that involve high volume, transactional services (such as refuse, recycling and payments), the move to transactional online services is an obvious choice. But what about the areas that do not fall in this category?
This is iNetwork's inaugaral digital conference, and it aims to be ambitious in scope. The aim of this conference is to address three tricky but important areas for public service providers: digital inclusion, digital health and social care, and digital welfare. To register please click here.
Free Business Improvement Training
INTERESTED in accessing some FREE iNetwork Business Improvement Training delivered in partnership with external consultants from Gateshead College?
During the course, delegates learn key skills to enable them to critically analyse the performance of their business area and to make lasting improvements to benefit residents and internal customers.
All of the candidates have to complete an improvement project in their own work area and the benefits were measured and externally verified by the consultants.
Cheshire East are undertaking a organisational wide approach and the results across the programme so far are outstanding:-
- 18000 processing hours saved across 9 service areas.
- 1900 days shaved off service delivery times for customers.
- 1400% improvements in service quality.
In commercial terms the value of the course is £1800.00 per person and as per the old BIT programme it requires a minimum of 12 people in one cohort, although they can be from different service areas.
If you are interested in this programme, please contact my colleague Catherine O’Neill (Lead for ESR2 Programme) at catherine.oneill@tameside.gov.uk . She will be happy to get back to you with more detail.
