4 Successful implementation of Shared Services has two pre-requisites. it Transformation A change in culture and behavior is required by Both shared service providers and customers Who is accountable? What skill sets are required? What are the metrics and rewards? Transition The people, processes and technology required to provide services fundamentally change (What is the critical path and dependencies d to move to new arrangements?) 4
5 What is Shared Services? Feature Description Definition 1. A model of service delivery that leverages economies of scale and skill sets by consolidating common processes and services. Strategy 5 1. transactional processes are separated into a self contained business or function that is organised to deliver a more effective end to end service, at a lower cost. 2. More sophisticated t models include strategic t or higher h value expertise functions e.g. management accounting, performance management. 3. Services do not need to be co-located however there should be common governance, service management, employee conditions and performance metrics. 4. Common IT infrastructure and systems are implemented, preferably with minimal customisation, except for agreed interfaces to retained legacy systems.

7 Shared Services, Off shoring and Outsourcing A Shared Service can include elements of off shoring/outsourcing Off shoring is putting shared services activities into a low cost location Outsourcing is achieving i better results by sourcing and funding using an external partner Potential Cost Saving Maximise Savings Simulation Improve by applying best practice A shared services strategy can examine five options in order to identify the most appropriate solution. Public sector organisations only consider 3. Standardisation Adopt best practices consistently across all business units Shared Services Capture economies of scale Focus on continuous improvements Shared Service (with Offshoring) Leverage very low global cost locations Minimum risk Shared Services (with outsourcing) external supplier where beneficial Leverage supplier economies of scale Complexity of Solution
8 Technology and service complexity determine the form of shared services adopted d HIGH Technology Sophistication LOW 8 Virtual Shared Services / Self Service Process automation eliminates routine tasks and users take responsibility for transaction processing governed by workflow and business rules embedded in systems. Communities / Networks of excellence Interactive communication and effective knowledge sharing. Teams can form without the necessity to co-locate. Teams can be extremely flexible and can be either permanent, temporary or periodically formed. Physical shared services Centres of excellence Teams of transaction processing staff operating out of a single facility providing services to multiple business units. Centres process more complex and higher volumes of transactions to support a self service environment Personalised, flexible and expert intervention to support the agency. Services that are required infrequently and therefore are not cost effective to embed in each business unit. These services will be located wherever the trade-off between cost and quality is optimised. LOW Service Complexity HIGH Service Complexity Commodity, Transactions Services Expert, Knowledge Based Services

11 Key transformational success factors Success Factor Sponsorship Business Case Governance Change Management Description Sponsorship by the Secretary. Leadership by an accountable senior executive with knowledge of the organisation. The strategy must be informed by a robust business case that engages relevant stakeholders and presents a compelling case for change. Small but high impact Board / Steering Committee focused on driving the business case. Significant investment in change management to ensure acceptance of new ways of doing business. Business Business rather than system focus, informed by re-engineering i of Focus processes, to deliver new business capability. Benefits Management Rigorous scope and cost management to capture and track benefits. 11
12 Implementing shared services Understand Key SSC Design issues & assumptions Develop Operation Model guiding Principles Develop Scenarios Propose draft model Review and revise proposed model What are your organisations specific issues and concerns? What minimum expectations are there? What are the nonnegotiable? What are specific guiding principles for developing your shared service organisation? How would you rank each option? What combinations of business unit, function, process, information flow and location are feasible given guiding principles and issues? How could these be grouped? Which aspects of the model are generally agreed? Which areas need more discussion and evaluation? Where are the points of contention? What options are there to resolve? Does the model fit the guiding principles and all discussion to date? Does the business case match expectations? Who is the decision maker?

20 The arguments for shared services in the public sector Efficiency Rationalisation of ICT investment Innovation Improved Resource management Rationale We can achieve efficiencies of at least 20% through business process improvements enabled by shared services. Many small agencies are committed to legacy ERP systems that they can not afford to maintain or replace. Citizen centered policy solutions support the wider application of shared services principles. Shared Services is a proven model for achieving sustained business improvement that will enable agencies to meet their Efficiency Dividend Targets. Our observations An equitable basis for sharing savings is critical. Agencies need to be able to re-invest savings in front line service delivery. An opportunity exists for a Central Agency or outsourced provider to provide fully hosted ERP system provided on a Shared Service basis. The Human Services Portfolio is embracing these developments..new and innovative ways of delivering government programs are required to achieve efficiency dividend targets.
21 The arguments against shared services in the public sector We are not big enough We cannot afford this investment Rationale Smaller agencies lack critical mass of staff to leverage efficiencies. Investment is upfront. The biggest costs are Redundancy, Implementation and EPR. Our observations A greater role by Central Agencies is required to establish the shared services infrastructure to support small agencies.. Payback is typically 4-6 years (or longer). Shared services should not be viewed as a silver bullet but as a performance improvement strategy. We can get savings through focusing on standardisation 10-25% of savings are typically driven through process efficiency improvements. Practical tools and approaches need to be developed and shared between agencies. This may require some revision of the CPG s to remove bottlenecks. We cannot risk this change in current control environment Compliance risk been a key issue facing CFOs over the last four years. Accountabilities under the FMA Act make Secretaries reluctant to transfer functions to a SSC. Compliance requirements are more onerous in the private sector but they still do it. The greatest scope for efficiency gain relates to expertise rather than transactions services.
