Public administration and associations

In defence of public property

Given the current context of limited economic resources, the public Administration is called upon to maximise its efforts to transform itself into models of good management of public property. Consulenti Italiani Business, with its consulting services for local development, can be a part of this.

Reference context

In recent years, the evolution of the Public Administration has seen a number of interesting developments, including the creation of forms of decentralisation of authority, operational flexibility, orientation towards performance and development of productivity.

Despite this, however, the high level of competitiveness and scarcity of economic resources available to local government make it difficult to attract quality resources and talent. Therefore, it becomes fundamental for even a public entity to be highly-attentive to its choices, define proper strategies, maintain close control over spending and build on its own reputation.

In short, both on a national and local level, the Public Administration must redefine competencies as well as how it works, how it provides services and how it manages costs and communication with the goal of guaranteeing a proper level of service that is inspired by criteria of flexibility, efficacy, efficiency, quality, transparency and cost-effectiveness.

A dynamic approach

To best analyse the complexity of local systems and identify the most appropriate drivers, Consulenti Italiani Business utilises its own dynamic simulation tools (Systems Dynamics) that provide the keys to analysis to monitor and highlight the trend in variables on the basis of specific choices and policies.

This method makes it possible to take on the specific situation of a local area by intervening on the causes behind problems, and not just the effects.
