Local Government

Local Government is facing the most challenging period for generations and organisations are required to make unprecedented levels of savings. Despite these budgetary pressures, there is an increasing demand to maintain the quality and availability of front line services, such as schools, libraries and social care.

Methods is a recognised expert in supporting local government organisations to move away from the inflexibility and high cost of traditional ICT delivery models. We are currently working with a range of local government bodies across the UK to achieve this.

We recognise the need to deliver transformed interactions with citizens, through joined up processes and new ways of engagement. Drawing on our change management expertise, we can work with councils to develop flexible workforce strategies. In addition, we can support councils in optimising back office services, streamlining processes and identifying savings through shared services.

Services we offer include:

‘New Ways of Working’
service redesign
channel shift
financial analysis and cost modelling
change management
programme and project management
information management and governance
IT strategy implementation
identity management and security
shared services
Cloud computing
network and broadband services aggregation
