Public Sector

Governmental organizations face never-ending pressure to do more and better with less. We support our clients in increasing their cost efficiency and operational excellence, as well as their effectiveness and agility.

Governments face a new cohort of young and more demanding citizens, clients and enterprises. These rising demands require a shift towards smoother customer journeys, ‘no wrong door’ thinking and a renewed focus on customer needs, mainly through digitization efforts.

New technologies such as AI, RPA, chatbot and blockchain can have a profound impact on governmental organizations. We assist our public sector clients in integrating these new technologies into their operating and service delivery models, with an increased focus on and vigilance towards cybersecurity.

Driven by the EU Green Deal, Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks also require governments to adopt long-term, integrated planning and budgeting, with a push towards scaling and accelerating implementation. To facilitate these transitions, governments must rethink their strategies and approaches, develop new value and business cases and partnership models, improve actionability, and retrain their staff.

Frequent changes in institutional structures and the regulatory framework have a significant impact on governmental organizations at a federal, regional and local level. These reforms require redesign, integration and separation support as well as a need for even more collaboration across the public sector value chain and ecosystem.

Data is the new gold for governments, challenging them in the way they work and the way in which they inform their policy process. Future-proofing the Public Sector implies working towards a smarter and more data-driven government, as well as a more holistic policy making process, empowered by the use of advanced data analytics.

The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on both individuals and businesses. Within the Public Sector, we have and continue to support our clients – such as health & financial-economic administrations – in crisis management, post-crisis recovery and prevention of the next crisis.

There is a heightened awareness and increased number of audits by tax authorities at federal and regional level. This is resulting in an increased focus on tax compliance throughout all processes within a constantly evolving environment.
