REINVENTING NEW YORK STATE GOVERNMENT-Using Enterprise Lean and Reform Models
Most State leaders, caught up in the current budget crisis, are weighing the options of cutting programs or raising taxes. You also hear this from politicians and TV news anchors most are focused these two alternatives. But Governor Cuomo in his January 4, 2012 State of the State speech wants to make government more efficient and that is the third option- making State Government efficient and effective. This third option affects how the government works and does not cut programs or raise taxes. This book shows how to use Enterprise Lean with Reform Models developed by the author to reinvent New York’s State Government. The approach borrows the best and most successful methods from industry and applies them to state government. This is a unique breakthrough solution which brings major reform to the State government benefiting everyone who lives in the state (except for a few bureaucrats). With these reforms the State can balance its budget, have more resources for education and healthcare and may put off tax increases.
The timing of these reforms could not be better 46 states including New York are having trouble balancing their budgets even after severely cutting many programs including education, welfare, and health care. The implementation of the reforms in this book require that only those programs that remain after the cuts should be made more efficient. The good thing is that the reforms target the inherent inefficiency of the bureaucratic organization itself which has been left virtually untouched by the cuts that the state has made. The state of New York can expect to see an estimated 20% decrease in staffing costs from the implementation of the General Reform Model without any decease in services.
Other Reform Models target specific problem areas of government. The Streamlining Boards and Commissions Model implements a State Call Center that manages all the former activities of the Boards and Commissions. All public contact with New York’s Boards and Commissions goes through the State Call center. Call center personnel have instant access to Boards and Commission information through computer databases to answer public queries. The Call center acts as a screening function for those seeking detailed information and those needing special services. Boards and Commissions that only supply information to the public may become redundant because that information can now accessed from data bases and the internet by call center personnel. The savings is in the management of the interface with the public and not so much on the reduction of the number of Boards and Commissions.
Another reform: the Consolidation Reform Model focuses on consolidating duplicated service functions such as purchasing, travel and etc. The Consolidation Model can also be used in consolidating government agencies that have duplicated functions.
This book provides the details of how to implement the approach using Enterprise Lean to train all relevant public employees in the use of the Lean tools. Lean is used in Reform Models designed to guide them step by step in fixing specific government problems. There are also guided template scenarios of how to implement multiple Reform Models.
