Who is involved in managing this programme?
The GO programme is being managed by Rob Wood, an experienced programme manager. Rob is supported by an implementation team comprising officers from all four partner authorities.
Rob leads the implementation team. This team manages a range of projects which can be split into three categories:
- design of the specification for the shared services
- design of the various ERP system functions (such as general ledger, debtors, creditors, payroll, human resources, purchase order processing)
- implementation of the new ERP system at each authority
