At KPMG, we have a deep understanding of the local government landscape, working alongside numerous councils to devise innovative transformation solutions. We bring fresh insights and proven methodologies to help create a dynamic way forward.
Through our global methodologies and subject expertise, we help our local government clients build a future-ready organisation. We drive this through our Connected, Powered, Trusted approach, alongside a focus on Place.
Our Connected approach helps build a local government organisation that is citizen-centric and designed around their needs. Organisations which invest in the 8 capabilities of a Connected Enterprise are over twice as likely to see success from their investments in digital transformation. At the same time, a Connected approach helps build insight-led internal improvement, from cost optimisation and commercialisation to operational excellence, procurement efficiency and supply chain management.
Our Powered methodology helps authorities and councils digitally transform to embed modern technology and agile business practices that enable for higher performance and lasting value. The Powered approach helps ensure that enabling functions and support services such as HR, Finance and Procurement work smartly and more effectively to support the strategic objectives of the council.
Our Trusted solutions help create effective internal audit and assurance services, embedding a balanced approach to managing risk in public service transformation to build the confidence of elected Members and other stakeholders, including regulators, in the local authority. We help enable organisations to make good decisions, achieve their objectives and manage risks.
Our Place approach focuses on helping councils create liveable environments and meet climate action ambitions as they move towards net zero. This includes the decarbonisation of transport through renewable energy fuel sources, initiatives such as emission zones and an increased focus on walking and cycling; and a built environment strategy that promotes sustainable buildings and infrastructure, lowers GHG emissions and promotes environmental quality through open spaces and smart planning.
