Greening the Public Sector Through Effective Use of Mobile Technology

February 11, 2008 By Gary Marston Leave a Comment

Steve Reynolds, Chair, MDA (Mobile Data Association)

In local government in general, there are a huge range of job functions and activities to which mobile working technology could be applied to significantly reduce environmental impact. These range from social services activities, environmental services and building control to home care, parking services and housing – the list is almost endless. What they have in common is the potential to optimise how job schedules are organised and as a result by how much the overall amount of travel undertaken to carry out the jobs can be reduced.   These field workers perform vital roles across the country for local authorities – many of them travel a great deal to perform their duties. The adoption of mobility technology can radically improve efficiency of remote workers out in the field, and as a result eliminate unnecessary journeys, save very large sums in fuel and reduce the amount of paper used in day-to-day activities by a huge amount.  Steve will work through some practical case studies to illustrate how mobile technology can impact on the green agenda in this way.

Measuring the benefits of mobile and flexible working

February 11, 2008 By Gary Marston Leave a Comment

(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.
