Request for Proposal CS-00072- Recruitment of Continuous Improvement Consultant

SHG is embedding a change programme that will enable the Public Service to improve its delivery of the government's developmental objectives. Achievement of the Goals and Strategic Objectives will require sound management and transformation of the public sector to make it a professional, modern, and flexible organisation able to initiate and respond to change. Central to this programme has been the re-structuring of Government functions and directorates. There are currently five directorates reporting to the Chief Secretary who is the head of the Service; Education, Health, Safeguarding, Environment & Natural Resources and Corporate Services. The Police Service reports to the Governor.

The Project

SHG wants to supplement the current change programme for the St Helena Government (SHG) which is currently operating under the following broad headings:

Continuous improvement is central to the changes required in SHG and this consultancy will require the training and mentoring of a group of "change champions" who will eventually lead on the areas of change. This is expected to be a short term consultancy that may be led completely from overseas or be part led from overseas and include a visit to St Helena.

The project will commence in May/June 2017.

High Level Objectives

This is a long term plan for SHG, but in this first phase of the work the required output from the consultancty is the design, implementation and embedding of a programme of continuous improvement in Saint Helena Government, with a view to delivering on the promise contained in the SHG 10 year plan.
