It is increasingly recognised that successful regional economic development depends upon building quality into the processes through which it is managed. Across the UK, institutional change is providing an opportunity to take a fresh approach.
In recent years, Fraser Associates has helped agencies and partnerships to strengthen their process by:
-
facilitating in the development of strategy to help ensure that resources are focused on key priorities and on an appropriate scale.
-
devising project selection processes and criteria that promote quality by discriminating between proposals that are fundamentally sound and those that are merely well presented.
-
preparing and providing training and other support in implementing performance measurement frameworks and monitoring procedures.
-
assisting agencies to align their cultures and processes with the requirements of different funding regimes.
The experience of our team in management issues includes:
- Delivery of training on embedding evaluation thinking in project development: Advantage West Midlands.
- development of programme-level performance measurement frameworks: One NorthEast.
- review of management information systems: Government Office for the West Midlands.
- review of Private Sector Participation in European Programmes: National Assembly for Wales.
- training of Civil Servants in programme design and management: Government of Romania.
- review of representation in Brussels and European Information services: Greater London Authority.
- development of monitoring and evaluation frameworks for a wide range of programmes and projects across the UK.
- evaluation of programme management and partnership dynamics in more than 10 regional and sectoral development programmes across the UK.
