Chris Gavigan, Matt Merrigan - Joint Chairs Local Government Management Services Board
Accomplish Consultants and associates were retained by the Local Government Management Services Board, over the period 2003-2005 on behalf of the local government sector, to assist in the implementation of a Performance Management and Development System (PMDS) in the sector.The consultants completed their work ahead of schedule in September, 2004. This was a very significant and commendable achievement by the consultants and by the staff involved in the six pilot sites given the difficulties which were inevitably encountered and that had to be overcome in a very tight timescale.
The consultants at each stage of the process demonstrated professionalism, established diverse communication channels with both the local authorities and the Joint Union/Management monitoring group for the sector and through the piloting of the process, finalised a robust model for implementation. Each stage of the process also involved an independent evaluation process which contributed to the efficacy of the model and its implementation. A significant feature in the introduction of PMDS involved flexibility in approach given that the sector represents thirty-four individual employers and employs over 35,000 staff and the consultants responded to this requirement which enables the current phased implementation in the sector.
Funding for PMDS was provided on a joint basis by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the individual local authorities and it is generally accepted that the implementation of PMDS with the assistance of the Accomplish Consultants has been a cost effective exercise for the sector.
