Welcome to Shared Services Solutions

Shared Services Solutions is a working partnership of Atkins Management Consultants and Catalise plc, formed to deliver client side advisory services in response to the Government Shared Service initiative being driven from the Cabinet Office.

The implementation of shared services across Government is a key element of delivering value from public services through the ‘Transformational Government’ agenda.

Together ‘we’ understand all stages of Shared Services on both client and supply side:

Investment – Information, Benefits, Control

Investment thinking is key to our approach - ‘we’ understand the requirements and the way sourcing decisions should be made and controlled.

Solution Development – Process, Organisation, Technology

Designing and implementing the optimum solution is key to maximising the benefits from the sourcing investment. Our approach ensures that all aspects of the solution are clearly defined and follow industry best practice.

Transition – People, Organisation, Communication

Achieving ambitious results requires significant investment in the ‘softer’ aspects of change. Our experience shows the value of investment in communications, organisational design and people development.

Programme – Plans, Risks, Deliverables

Strong programme management keeps the work on track. Attention to risks allows deliverables to be adjusted to achieve the benefits proposition.

Implementation – Transparency, Delivery, Reporting

Each implementation will be unique depending on the nature of the solution. Our approach to implementation is highly focused on early delivery of benefits.
