− | == When to Pursue an Enterprise Solution ==
| |
− | If a potential initiative meets the five criteria for enterprise-wide initiatives, as outlined above, the decision whether to pursue such an approach will be based on the assessment of seven additional criteria which address value for money and feasibility. Overall, decisions will be based on net value (overall) as individual criteria might be in conflict.
| |
− |
| |
− | '''''Value for Money'''''
| |
− | * '''Value:''' Does it represent a net improvement in value for money—i.e. economy, efficiency and effectiveness—as compared to the status quo/other options? (See Annex 1 for specific checklist.)
| |
− |
| |
− | * '''Interdependencies:''' Is an enterprise-wide approach required to support other interconnected initiatives?
| |
− |
| |
− | * '''Risk:''' Does it reduce operational risk through enhanced operational security and integrity? Are the respective risks of pursuing an enterprise-wide approach less than those of adopting department-specific approaches?
| |
− | '''''Feasibility'''''
| |
− | * '''Timing:''' Is the timing favourable for such an initiative given the current context and competing priorities?
| |
− |
| |
− | * '''Equity''': Will it result in equitable and consistent treatment across departments?
| |
− |
| |
− | * '''Funding:''' Is funding available, aligned with current priorities, and recommendable in light of opportunity costs? Are the long-term total costs of not proceeding (e.g. continuing to pay for the maintenance of silo’d legacy infrastructure) greater than those of adopting an enterprise-wide approach? Are the individual and collective financial impacts on departments a net benefit?
| |
− |
| |
− | * '''Capacities:''' Is there an existing organization (e.g. a common service organization) that could provide the service? Is there a lead organization or cluster with the necessary resources, expertise and commitment to successfully execute?
