Infobasis and JGP provide capability management for North Eastern local government
InfoBasis extends skills management expertise to governmental authorities with JGP.
A partnership between Capability Management expert Infobasis and JGP, the leading provider of web-based talent management technology to the public sector has enabled the provision of an online skills analysis tool for local authorities in the North East of England.
Following the successful implementation of a similar project in greater Manchester, a collaboration of 19 local authorities and one fire and rescue service are now using the capability management technology. The system supplied through JGP’s skills portal, follows a regional initiative to increase the skills and capacity in North East Local Government.
Initially the project was to conduct a skills audit of 3rd and 4th tier management, as a foundation to then deliver a targeted development programme to managers. In collaboration with North East Regional Learning and Skills Council, the opportunity to expand the project for customer service staff was realised effectively linking two key sectors, middle management and customer service.
‘Partnership quote from JGP on the partnership – this was deleted from the draft sent through from Don Taylor, but actually seems like the most appropriate type of quote.
The strength of this partnership has also allowed for capacity building with the development of the skills portal. “Accessing appropriate skills and ensuring development is in place for skills gaps is essential in providing efficient local government services” (could use as a quote?)
The project also has greater implications for all local government in the North East in providing a reusable skills management portal for use by the entire sector.
