Diamond Circle Program Extended 2006

day 2 - friday, march 24th

9am - 11:30am | Breakouts - Conversation on Service Delivery: What Do You Have in Common?

Leading Collaborative Change
The Customer Service Mission: Services are government's primary product. Infinite demand chases finite supply. The service delivery mix changes with new needs, laws and priorities. The gold standard remains service that is friendly, respectful and responsive. This concurrent session identifies the "opportunities" of a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis. A service delivery matrix will be used to map current services. Then participants will identify potential services or components of services that can be done together rather than separately. The outcome of this session will be a list of services or components that could be done together from the leaders' perspective.

This session will identify the strengths and weaknesses of a SWOT analysis for the leadership and "followership" elements of collaboration. It will also help participants identify the threats or issues and obstacles to collaboration.
