Shared services are creating new opportunities for Public Safety IT
As well as new challenges and risks.

As agencies look for fiscally responsible IT alternatives, shared services are fast becoming a viable and potentially cost-effective alternative for Public Safety agencies.

Shared service opportunities come with unique operational and financial benefits as well as common pitfalls that require an effective engagement strategy.

A few of the ingredients that make up an effective shared services plan:

• To acquire mission critical services Public Safety agencies may consider:
  • agency-to-agency agreements
  • approach central IT organizations for service provision
• Each of these scenarios must have:
  • clearly defined stakeholder roles and responsibilities,
  • articulated goals,
  • executive support and …
  • a service-oriented culture.

Presenters:

• Jonathan A.Kashare, (LinkedIn profile) Sr Managing Partner
• ScottPorter, Sr Director Consulting

Too often, the success or failure of an outsourcing relationship is determined by the skills and attributes of its governance team rather than consistently applied governance methods and tools. In too many cases, success hinges on the strengths and influence of a single individual. Unfortunately, heroes don’t scale.

During this webinar, TAC Expert Mike Beals, who is a leader in the relationship management and governance of outsourcing providers, will share several case studies highlighting how governance best practices have been applied in Global 2000 clients.

Hot issues to be addressed include:

• What is the connection between relationship management and our governance design?
• What functionality needs to be included in governance?
• How large should a governance group be, and how should it be staffed?
• How should one integrate governance processes with the provider’s account management?
• What models are most effective for multi-provider governance?

Presenter: Mike Beals, (LinkedIn profile) TAC Expert, has more than 20 years experience in IT and business process outsourcing. Mr. Beals was VP and sourcing practice lead at META group, and founder of Relationship Management Solutions where he led the relationship management / governance practice and the design, development and sales of one of the leading governance software solutions.

Eine Einführung in die vier Best Practices: P3O – MSP – MoP und PRINCE2 und wie sie am besten zusammenwirken.

Vorhang auf zum Webinar “Die 4 Musketiere”. Darin präsentieren wir Ihnen einen Ãœberblick in die 4 Musketiere, die alles mitbringen, was Sie brauchen, um alle Herausforderungen in Projekten zu bestehen.

Die Musketiere heissen
– PRINCE2 für erfolgreiche Projekte
– MSP für erfolgreiche Programme
– MoP für das Management von Portfolios
– P3O für Project Offices für Projekte, Programme und Portfolios
und sind einzigartig in der Projektwelt.

Alle vier stehen jeder für sich für langjährig erprobte Anwendung, Einsetzbarkeit in jeder Branche und konkrete und praxistaugliche Beschreibung.

Und im Zusammenspiel sind sie unschlagbar! Sorgfältig abgestimmt verstehen sie sich blind und arbeiten Hand in Hand. So ist die gesamte Projektwelt – Projekte, Programme und Portfolios – in guten und starken Händen.

Im Webinar stellen wir Ihnen alle vier Best Practices vor und zeigen, welchen Nutzen diese Methoden IHRER Organisation bringen können. Einer für alle – alle für einen.
