Document Conception to Publication Audit Study

Our research has shown that local authorities will:

• Invest up to £11 million annually into their Document Conception to Publication (C2P) processes
• Frequently deploy inconsistent and wasteful processes
• Frequently deliver to a low standard of presentation
• Be able to realise savings of up to £3M pa by changing the way they produce documents

These figures are derived from averages across many local authorities, but in order to act, organisations need to have visibility over their own activities.

We offer a consultant led study to give hard data relating to their own processes and investment during which our professional services team will conduct detailed interviews with staff, use automated web analysis tools and statistical analysis to provide a validated dataset for local government senior officers to evaluate and plan C2P business transformation measures.

The programme takes 6 weeks and provides the following outputs:

• An analysis of the scale of the undertaking for the organisation- i.e. what is getting produced, how and to what standards
• The mapping of the processes deployed in the organisation, using Limehouse’s C2P reference model
• Cost analysis of the document production process
• Identification of inefficiencies
• Analysis of graphic design use and costs to the organisation
• Analysis of media distribution and costs to the organisation

These reports are presented in the form of a strategic roadmap that incorporates practical next steps and a timetable to assist you in budgeting and planning for maximising return and improving business efficiency through enhanced C2P processes.
