Using Centre-Led Approaches to Drive More Value from Corporate Services

The main purpose of a centralized approach is that the “central team directly delivers. There is a standardized strategy with central management of spending, data and information.” This could mean that it could become “very hierarchical, inefficient and costly, with a lack of flexibility and agility.” This could make it hard to “meet the needs of unique business units.” In a decentralized approach, “it is almost the opposite. It’s easier to meet the need of unique business units and results in faster decision-making” but at the same time, there is a “lack of corporate policy standards, higher costs and it …

Almost for the first time, employees realized that they are in charge of their own destinies, so Martina Mangion says, we as HR teams need to be more competitive in how we attract, recruit, engage with and retain those employees. People now move laterally not just upwards if a competing role has better conditions or benefits. So upskilling has also become more important than ever before. On top of that, it is crucial that we have a diverse workforce …

Strategies to Attract and Retain the Next Generation of Leaders for Tomorrow’s Public Sector

In the forgotten past, people were happy to have a job and often stayed in their roles for many years even if they didn’t really enjoy what they were doing. In the last few decades this started to change and now, especially after the pandemic, the job alone is not enough to sustain employees. It is about the workforce and the workplace as much as the work itself. For instance, the demographics of most workplaces will soon change with the retirement of the baby-boomers and incoming of the next generation who have a different priority as they join the workforce. …

API Design and Development: Creating and Executing the Roadmap

It is common knowledge that technology dominates our lives, and that we interact with computers or the technology within them multiple times a day. Computers power our cars, many appliances within our homes, our mobile devices and so many other unseen devices and operations. They are also used heavily within government services, and not just in a visible way. The backend operations of most government agencies are usually busy hives of banks of computers operating all manner of systems and processes. Many of these computers and systems can communicate with each other because of Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs, and …
