Best Value
To seek Value for Money is not only a funding council requirement for universities, it is also necessary if financial sustainability is to be assured.
SUMS Consulting helps universities to achieve best value by:
- Reviewing the scope and mission of functions
- Informing the development of VFM strategy
- Examining the staffing and organisation structure
- Making comparisons with organisations elsewhere
- Assessing systems and processes and identifying opportunities for improvement
- Discussing with users their views on service delivery
- Quantifying improvements and cost savings
- Considering the allocation and division of responsibility of work between different parts of the organisation
- Assessing opportunities for out-sourcing and facilities management
- Developing action plans to help implement recommendations.
