Mobile & flexible working
This case study outlines the initial concept and evolution of flexible working in Nottinghamshire County Council.
Paul Bettison, Leader, Bracknell Forest Borough Council
Paul will capture your imagination about how ‘cutting the infrastructure wires’ can not only release office space and also provide better customer service but, how it should be an integrated part of your strategic planning and provide a solution for operational front line managers and your Council’s community Leadership role.
Paul’s presentation provided useful tips on the strategic challenges, the necessary vision and delivery of mobile working. Paul is always clear that remote and mobile working are subtly different and should not be confused but, form part of the menu a forward thinking Authority should have to pick from.
Paul explained the practical development of the business case and the importance of identifying and delivering the return on investment and explained how this can be a vehicle for delivering transformation change of services for those that need it whilst also being able to deliver organic change for those who prefer this approach.
John A McKernan, Head of Enterprise Design Authority & CTO, Delivery and Innovation Division, The Northern Ireland Executive
This presentation will address how the NICS is embracing the latest mobile technologies to enable staff to work more flexibly and efficiently. It will explain how it is interfacing with the Workplace 2010 Strategy and running a number of proof of concept projects to prove that the technologies not only work but that they comply with the NICS IT security requirements.
(John will also cover property implications).
(Dr) Bob Crichton, Managing Director, HOP Associates
It is expected that employees working more flexibly will save on office costs, work more productively, spend less time off sick and reduce their carbon footprints. But how do you know in advance what can be achieved? How do you build a business case? And how do you make sure the benefits are actually delivered? Using examples from the UK public sector, Bob Crichton from HOP Associates showed how office space auditing, employee consultation and financial modelling can provide an empirical foundation for successful implementation.
