  1. Austrailia's early 2000s experiment with a #SharedServices organization is super interesting.

    Super impressed that they actually checked that their #centralization effort was delivering on it's claims.... and it wasn't.

    The original business case was "fundamentally flawed" and has "resulted in a total cost to the State of $473 million" instead of the expected savings of $68 million/year.

    * 91 per cent of sampled agencies comment that service delivery has deteriorated upon transitioning to shared
    services.
    * Over 80 per cent of the sampled agencies reported that processing timeframes have worsened
    * rolling-in to the DTFSSC has had a detrimental impact on the operations of the majority of rolled-in agencies

    "The Authority concludes that the current structure of the DTFSSC is problematic. It is a monopoly provider, with a mandated client base and a lack of meaningful service level agreements. This means that there are minimal incentives for DTFSSC to improve service delivery and few ways in which client agencies can hold DTFSSC accountable"
