Overview
The public sector is very much service driven. The organisations are increasingly adopting best practices. Information technology is making them more responsive to the needs of the stakeholders they serve. Government agencies, statutory boards, educational institutions and non-profit organizations have work under the oversight of many institutions hence their reporting requirements are different from the private sector. The special controls, rules, and regulations that they follow require specialized operational systems. Ever-changing regulations result in ongoing modifications to practices and reports, and demand constant scrutiny.
The common challenges that public sector faces are:
-
Continual improvement for good service quality
-
Budgeting and forecasting
-
Heavy paperwork and regular reporting requirements
-
Greater demands for transparency and accountability
-
Stronger collaboration among departments and ministries
-
Organisation and employee development
-
Compliance for rules and regulations
