We have been assessing government’s capability in managing operations and processes since 2010. In this output we present analysis from our examination of 32 government organisations, including 86 operational processes. From our analysis, four themes capture the most important characteristics associated with good operations management capability:

  • Having a customer focus
  • Managing from a whole system, end-to-end perspective
  • Building an effective management and leadership environment
  • Using information to improve the business
