Driving Value through Service Delivery Reviews
Municipalities across Canada are under increasing pressure to do more with less. While citizens continue to demand more, governments are facing unprecedented financial pressures – such as a global pandemic, climate change, cost inflation, affordability crisis and supply chain disruptions to name a few.
This session asks a simple question: how can we deliver more for less? We will explore how finance can play a leading role in helping municipalities deliver efficient, economical and effective programs.
This session will cover:
- The business case for value-for-money
- Common approaches to maximizing value-for-money
- Case studies
