Public sector organisations are critical to economic and societal progress. It can alter and define the way in which markets and society functions. We work with public sector organisations to deliver actionable ideas that could transform society. Our work is focused on helping government agencies at a local, state, or federal level solve operational or strategic challenges. By combining insights from our Research Wing- CPPR, we develop sustainable, people-centric solutions tailored to the client’s expectations. We use consultancy frameworks keeping in cognisance of the complexities involved in public policy.
1. Policy Impact Assessment (PIAs):
Policy Impact Assessments are evidence-based procedures that assess the economic, social, and environmental effects of public policy. We have a track record of assessing laws, government schemes and their impact on the public. We undertake thorough investigation of the problem through primary research involving field-visits, stakeholder consultations, focussed-group discussion, surveys, among others.
Our policy impact assessments have improved legislation by
2. Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA):
Regulatory Impact Analysis is a tool undertaken to critically assess the positive and negative effects of proposed and existing regulations and non-regulatory alternatives. It encompasses a range of methods which continues to evolve, reflecting continued learning and practical knowledge. Broadly, our methodological frameworks that assist RIA include valuation risk, transaction cost assessment and economic cost-benefit Analysis. We also run our clients’ project through our threshold tests to identify the full range of rationales for government intervention. The interventions are also studied through multiple-vantage points to ensure there is public acceptance, quality standards and political support.
3. Cost-Minimisation and Output-Maximisation:
When it concerns public sector organisations, multiple challenges persist because the public sector uses public money, therefore, there is a greater risk of money leaks. Typical leak points include poorly designed programs/projects, poor budgeting, sub-optimal implementation, inadequate monitoring and evaluation processes, weaknesses in procurement controls, theft and corruption, assets misappropriation. Our approach on cost-minimisation and output-maximisation is undertaken to ensure effective, efficient, and economic use of resources. It includes not just the evaluation of relevant costs and benefits but also a thorough assessment of risks, non-price attributes, and/or total cost of ownership.
