PUBLIC ENTITY/GOVERNMENT

The public sector faces numerous challenges from emerging risks such as avian flu, terrorism, and environmental compliance to recurrent issues such as employment disputes, procurement compliance, and corporate governance.

Government and public services

At Marsh, we endorse a risk-based approach to the management of strategic priorities and challenges and believe it helps organisations at every stage, from conception of a project, programme or initiative, through to final evaluation.  Change will always bring challenges but, if these are met successfully, it can also deliver considerable benefits to communities.

The public sector is experiencing considerable change:

  • Local government reform and the challenges or reorganisation
  • Partnership working and shared services
  • Resources and efficiency - doing more with less
  • Cultural change and the continual demand for service improvement
  • Performance, inspection and reputation
  • Social, economic and environmental regeneration.
  • As with anything else in life, all these issues involve risk.

Marsh is a leading strategic risk adviser, with a dedicated and experienced public sector team that is ready to assist you.
