New LPS Event - 29th of June 2010 at the LGA in London

AGI Local Public Services Special Interest Group (LPSIG) & Local Government Association (LGA) seminar  Share to Save: How GI can equip the public sector to do more with less "Joined-up government" is a phrase we have not heard for a while. But with the emphasis now firmly on saving taxpayer money, it could be making a comeback. The Total Place pilots have demonstrated that a whole area approach to public services can lead to better services at less cost.  Now though, the challenge for everyone in the public sector is to save money by sharing local public services, staff and buildings. Geography and GIS are fundamental to understanding place.  Many government organisations already employ GIS to deliver better services for the customer at less cost.  The seminar will concentrate on three key elements: Efficiency savings through shared services/partnership working Successful case studies of proven savings through the use of GI Value of GI intelligence in public service provision The seminar will provide an excellent opportunity for participants from the Local Government and Health sectors to discuss best practice, learn from peer organisations and see where opportunities exist to do more geospatially with less.
