1 Realising the benefits of e-government the CJS IT Programme experience Presentation to Forum P.A, RSO seminar Rome, 9 th May 2006 Stephen Jenner, Portfolio Director, Criminal Justice IT

2 The CJS IT Programme - 3 billion euros,

3 Context: Justifying the investment appraisal & evaluation in the UK The fundamental reason for beginning a programme is to realise the benefits through change. Source: Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) from the Office for Government Commerce It is only possible to be sure that change has worked if we can measure the delivery of the benefits it is supposed to bring. Source: UK Cabinet Office, Successful IT: Modernising Government in Action

4 But by the start of the 2004 Spending Review we faced A negative cost-benefit position for the Programme as a whole Significantly reduced benefit realisation

5 But we were in good company for more than two decades, implementing IT systems successfully has proved difficult implementation of IT systems has resulted in delay, confusion and inconvenience to the citizen and, in many cases, poor value for money to the taxpayer. (Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons Improving the Delivery of Government IT projects 1999) 78% of Information Systems projects failed to realise even 50% of the originally identified benefits. (Management Today, 2001) 30-40% of systems to support business change deliver no benefits whatsoever. (OGC Successful Delivery Toolkit, 2005)

6 So action was needed in terms of establishing repeatable processes and evidence-based Tools & Techniques in the areas of: Investment Appraisal & Portfolio Prioritisation Active Benefits Management

7 Managing the Portfolio 1 - Investment Principles Funding is dependent upon adherence to the CJS IT governance arrangements Projects funded must deliver benefits to more than one agency Complete what is started subject to performance Projects must provide positive rates of return agreed with the recipients Options selected should provide VFM and be achievable quickly Consume your own smoke i.e. departments are expected to fund overspends Continued funding depends on performance including benefits realisation Critical issues need to be addressed before funding is confirmed Projects must meet industry best practice criteria for attractiveness & achievability

13 But Optimism Bias is a reality There is a demonstrated, systemic, tendency for project appraisers to be overly optimistic. This is a worldwide phenomenon that affects both the private and public sectors appraisers tend to overstate benefits, and underestimate timings and costs Source: HM Treasury Green Book

19 CJSIT Social Value Different stages of benefits Consequence Time Savings Prevented Victimisation Public Satisfaction

20 And the results to date Spending Review baseline rolled forward for another 2 years The Programme can now demonstrate a (robust) positive return on investment We ve laid the basis for evidenced benefits realisation

21 Some encouraging feedback Cabinet Office report to the OECD - CJSIT a best practice case in the UK Gartner - the facilitating role of the IT portfolio unit represent good practices. Government organizations that are seeking successful approaches to program and project portfolio management should study CJIT's actions. CISCO report to the US NECCC - your CJIT Portfolio Management initiative is considered a strong and proven approach to measuring the benefits of IT investments Booz Allen Hamilton international e-gov benchmarking study - sound investment practices...cjit has adopted many best-practice investment tools recognised by the EC as a leader in this field in Europe

22 Conclusions Key principles Benefits begin with the Business Case Link funding to benefits forecasts Link continued funding to benefits realisation Validate project benefits forecasts with the recipients Plan and manage benefits realisation from a business rather than a project perspective Capture all forms of value efficiency, effectiveness and social value Utilise Summary documentation (the Pareto principle)
