Introduction
It was proposed to map a selection of public service technology partnerships tounderstand what lessons can be learned in developing and managing these.
The outcome of this research is the development of a Public Service ICTPartnership Maturity Model.
This was produced based on a Benchmarking of Best Practices (attached as aseparate document) which provides examples on each of the areas of the model.
Recommendations for next steps are described on how Kent Connects can use thisapproach.
Public Service ICT Partnership Maturity Model
Methodology
Maturity models1 are increasingly used in the development & management of ITorganisations. The maturity model enclosed at the end of this document has beenadapted from the Software Engineering Institutes Maturity Model2.
This can help partnerships improve their processes by measuring how wellthey can and do perform on the areas selected below. Using the Benchmarking ofBest Practices, they can also benchmark themselves against other partnerships.
Partnerships can use this maturity model in the following contexts:
1. Strategic planning
Situations where this may occur include developing a business plan for thepartnership, reviewing its progress over the year or in appraising the professionaldevelopment of the partnership team.
o Developing high maturity in a particular area: Ensuring that it has
achieving all of the processes for that particular area (A-H3)o Aiming to reach a higher maturity level as a partnership:Ensuring it has
achieved all of the processes for that particular level (1-54)
2. Project planning
Situations where this may occur include reviewing a programme to producerecommendations for the next phase or in developing project plans for specificpriorities within its strategy (i.e. public service redesign).

o Coordinating an appraisal of an IT function:Selecting targets to move up
a maturity level in types of IT function (i.e. infrastructure)o Producing recommendations for improvement: Setting targets to
consolidate maturity levels in areas and move up levels in others
Levels of the Model
The maturity model is based on five levels of maturity described below. Whatfollows is the description of each level of the model.
1. Priority setting
This is a process that achieves the work needed to define the objectives of thepartnership and the processes that enable the delivery of the activities required tomeet them.
Typical partnership at this level:
o A shared strategy is developed to outline the priorities to guide future
operational decisions and agree to use external standards.
o Processes are set out to scope out the development of locally developed
architectures and infrastructures, creating sub-groups to initiate this process.
o Investment is used in an ad-hoc way monitored by generic indicators.
The distinction between priority setting and standardising processes is around thelevel of institutionalisation of the processes.
2. Standardising
This is a process that is planned and delivered according to the partnershipsobjectives. This includes institutionalising, resourcing and monitoring its processes,groups and activities.
Typical partnership at this level:
o Issues are mapped to develop shared priorities and inform how investment is
allocated to projects supported by the partnership.
o Standardised processes and infrastructure are implemented to support
partners to reach an agreed level of maturity in core areas (i.e. procurement).
o Funding works on a co-financing basis to ensure commitment by individual
partners in projects.

The distinction between standardising and delivering processes is around the scopeof standards, processes & procedures.

3. Delivering
This is a process that is tailored from the partnerships standard processes to aparticular activity. This includes creating the processes, policies & resources
specific to that field.
Typical partnership at this level:
o Rationales for delivery in targeted areas of work are clarified. This informs
setting of funding and targets for development of specific projects (such as aparticular service to share, process to re-engineer or system to implement).
o Through this level of prioritisation, support is provided by the partnership to
develop common processes in those areas, particularly where compliance is
required or where there is a need to transition to new models.
o This is often supported by bespoke training or experts and monitored by
indicators designed specifically for that field.
The distinction between delivering and performing processes is how systematic thecreation and management of processes is to specific activities.
4. Performing
This is a process that establishes quantitative objectives for managing andmonitoring the quality and performance of partnership activities.
Typical partnership at this level:
o Information and performance systems are developed and financed to
systematically analyse needs and opportunities partners need to focus on.
o As partnerships progress through this level of maturity, they move to more
real-time analysis of evidence to iterate responses to emerging demands.
o This can be supplemented by providing experts to help partners understandhow to optimise the use of business intelligence to forecast future trends.
o This evidence-based approach drives the development of strategy and
investment in its delivery, as well as quality assurance of performance ofsystems and auditing to identify opportunities for re-using existing solutions.
The distinction between performing and transforming processes is how much thepartnership applies the analysis of performance to develop improved processes andactivities.

5. Transforming
This is a process that is continually improved based on an evidence-basedunderstanding of its needs & resources. This includes the development of new
processes & activities that support the change required.
Typical partnership at this level:
o Information systems enable partners to use the evidence base to move from
delivery of services to strategic management of the public service ICTmarketplace of their local area.
o Savings and income generation drive investment to manage risk of any future
budgetary pressures and move towards alternative commercial models.
o Shared infrastructure and architecture are developed to streamline processes
across all priorities of the partnership and aligned to locally agreedarchitectures in relevant areas such as customer services or procurement.
o Common principles are developed by partners and applied systematically in
projects that redesign online services to meet customer needs.
o Professional development and performance management are extended to
include change management to support the transformation needed to deliverthe strategic vision of the partnership.
Its important to note that partnerships will not necessarily fit into a particular levelacross all its areas of work. Typical partnerships are described to help peoplesituate where their partnership broadly sits.
There may partnerships which could identify as being firmly on a particular level (i.e.Level 1 - Priority setting) but also demonstrating examples from a much higher level(i.e. Level 3 - Delivering). They would focus on the intermediate level (i.e. Level 2 -Standardising) to then be able to reinforce their processes at the higher level.

Recommendations
The following recommendations provide options of how this maturity model could beapplied to meet Kent Connects strategic and project planning objectives:
Apply this maturity model as a method:
o Of benchmarking Kent Connects to other partnerships on a specific function
or priorities from its strategy or business plano Of appraising how future Kent Connects projects perform across the criteria
to identify and capture good practices in a standardised way
Use the methodology:
o To produce maturity models for priority areas from the PS ICT Strategy (i.e.
information governance, customer service) or future research requirements
Extend this maturity model:
o By adding features (i.e. professional development required) that can help
partnerships move up levels of the maturity modelo By exploring the feasibility of benchmarking it to other recognised maturity
models of specific ICT functions (i.e. SFIA Skills Framework) or of sectorsKent Connects works with (i.e. Health Informatics Capability Maturity Model)
