Local Government

Improving Performance In Labor Intensive Organizations
Local governments are labor intensive operations! In many local government departments, over 90 percent of the general fund operating budget is for personnel. The primary way to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a local government's performance, therefore, is to ensure that  personnel use their time as effectively as possible while meeting the needs of the citizens they serve.

Fundamental Management Principles Applicable In All Local Government Departments
Key principles and approaches should guide the strategy, operations, and management for all local government organizations, whether they be police departments, fire departments, public works, libraries, finance, fleet management, or highway departments. Each department, however, has unique features that must be considered when implementing these principles. Successful management consulting, therefore, requires applying sound management principles to the unique needs of each government agency being evaluated.
