Examples of Dutch projects

Expert study of governability
Commissioned
by several municipal authorities of the Province of South Holland, BMC
investigated the effectiveness of municipal governments in light of
their increasing number of responsibilities. The study resulted in a
report on opportunities for and the benefits of increased cooperation.
In the effectiveness study, BMC's consultants, researchers, change
managers and coaches
combined a variety of disciplines, ranging from
organisational science, public administration, strategic HR policy and
strategic financial policy making, as well as management and planning
and control. In addition, BMC identified the areas in which cooperation
led to consolidation and improvement.

Crisis scan: identifying the impact and determining the appropriate measures
In
partnership with the municipal authority of a major city in the
Netherlands, BMC identified the impact of the economic crisis and
determined the measures to be taken. The assessment was based on a
broad perspective: financial, social, economic, cultural and regional.
The municipal government decided to take specific measures related to
the job market and housing construction, and to invest in projects
contrary to economic trends to any
extent possible. Based on this
method, BMC developed a crisis scan for municipal authorities that
allows them a clear procedure to assess risks and opportunities in
order to take effective measures.

Client contact centres and ‘Response 2015'
The
‘Response 2015' programme (‘Antwoord 2015'), developed by the
Association of Dutch Municipalities and the Association of Public
Service Directors, is an essential tool for municipal authorities in
the process of becoming the portal for all government service within
their municipality by 2015.Through its expertise group, the program is
contributing significantly to the development of client contact centres
en route to ‘the municipal authority being seen as the principal
government authority'. BMC advises and supports a number of municipal
authorities aiming to provide the required level of service to their
communities.

Joining forces in priority neighbourhoods
At
the request of a neighbourhood in one of the largest Dutch cities and
several housing corporations, BMC provided a project manager to be
responsible for implementing the agreements made with the Ministry of
Housing, Communities and Integration. In this project, BMC combined a
variety of competencies related to residential issues and issues
concerning the surrounding area, social development, healthcare and
education.
