With local authority budgets under severe strain in 2010, it is vital for public service providers to assess the value for money of their services and to know how they compare with both other authorities and the private sector.
Do you know the areas of your business that need to be improved - and more importantly have you got the data to prove it to your colleagues and members?
MyBenchmarking can help
We are a specialist service for local authorities developed by two former officers from the Public Services Network in conjunction with leading consultants Mountford in Partnership.
Between them, MyBenchmarking's lead partners Ron Mountford and John King have more than 30 years experience of benchmarking in both public and private sector organisations. They have carried out more than 200 individually commissioned Benchmarking Projects and compiled their own private data bank of Benchmarking Information.
They are supported by communications professional Alastair Nisbet, who has specialised local government experience and new media skills.
All projects will be led by either Ron Mountford, or John King, and supported by other staff. Ron is principal consultant with Mountford in Partnership and is well know for his work for the Inter Authorities Group and formerly Havering Borough Council. John ran the benchmarking service at the Public Services Network until 2008 and was formerly contract services manager at Caerphilly.
They are recognised as two of the leading Benchmarking and Comparisons experts in Europe. Click the links above to find out more!
