Developing Solutions
Once the issues have been clearly defined, we help our clients to identify all the options available to them.
Our approach is to clarify the facts and make informed predictions about the effects of each option. Some of the tools and techniques that we use, such as the REMI-ECOTEC Model, have been developed in-house, and so are unique to ECOTEC. We strive to present our findings in a clear and accessible way so that client time is dedicated to considering the best approach, rather than trying to understand the consultants’ report.
When the preferred option has been identified, we can support our clients to develop their solution. This support ensures that they are able to progress in full confidence of achieving their objectives.
The benefit of our knowledge and experience means that we can add value to the development process in many ways. This can range from providing advice on the policy context through to the more practical skills of developing strategies and plans.
Our solutions services encompass the following:
- feasibility studies
- funding bids
- impact studies
- cost benefit analysis
- REMI-ECOTEC Model
- policy advice and support
- action and business planning
- strategy development
- facilitation

Service Portfolio: Organisational change for citizen-centric eGovernment
This high profile study is looking at how delivery of public services through eGovernment can be made more user- or citizen-focused. Part of this agenda sees a major role for ICT in modernising and making more efficient a wide range of public services.
The study has so far delivered three high profile events across Europe, attended by policy makers and practitioners of eGovernment and organisational change. A series of think papers critique the key issues of the day. A wide variety of materials and case studies have been collected and analysed. A final dissemination event and handbook for change will be published at the end of 2007.
Our work is bringing together key decision makers and practitioners in the fields of e-Government and organisational change, and is helping public administrations learn how to manage change effectively and how to get closer to their citizens. Our aim is to formulate concrete policy recommendations to assist policy makers and leaders at all levels.
